I am referring to "Foreplay" (
). Something tells me "Long Time" is not instrumental. I don't know what it is, but I have a feeling it isn't instrumental.

It may not pass the strict standards imposed by this thread for an "instrumental," but the vast majority of the Allman Brothers' "Blue Sky" is instrumental, and it is (IMO) far superior to any other song in the Allman Brothers' incredible playbook, including "Jessica."
Couple from Santana:
Soul Sacrifice (their classic Woodstock performance) &
Europa

Taurus by Spirit. The intro was obviously and blatantly stolen by Led Zepplin (who used to open for Spirit) as the intro to Stairway to Heaven. Did any band steal more material, without giving any credit, than Led Zepplin? Hell, practically the whole first album was stolen. No credits.

I always wondered if Edgar Winter's appearance was the inspiration for David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap.
Well, it doesn't get any better than this. YES won the grammy in 1984 for best rock instrumental performance for Cinema from 90125.
And here is Circa (White, Kaye, Sherwood and Haun) nailing Cinema at the 28:20 mark.

The one I was going to post! Not the best of the requested category by almost any objective measure, but definitely worth a mention and a personal favorite.
And another one that doesn't belong (but brings me back so I'll mention it since Hendrix' SSB was mentioned): Slash playing The Godfather

My Funny Valentine & Chim Chim Cherie have the same chord progressions and sound partially like both Taurus & Stairway. We get it. You don't like Zeppelin
