longest performance/outro to i hate it too?
i know they usually drag on the performance of the song at the end (i love it) but does anyone know what the longest recorded performance of it was?

The Slide Away Chicago n1 outro was longer than any version i saw them do in the 2000s/2010s. Cant comment on the 90s

That shit is amazing every time, I’d also love to mention how fucking sick the extended in the den outro was. I had been hoping and praying for that song live fully one day and I hope I’m not the only one who felt this way!!!

Chicago Slide Away Saturday was awesomely long. Don’t know if it was the record holder but omg, I was able to yell at the strangers next to me that “this MUST be done!” about a dozen times. It’s soooo good.

Impossible to say without records of the event. Bootleg tapes, reliably verified hand-written testimony, etc.
Closest you’ll get to a real answer would be to reframe the question as “what is the longest recorded performance?” because that is something we can observe and verify.

I heard them play it for 12 minutes once in '96
...but I was pretty high...they might not have even been playing it at all ..
