Here’s the instrumnetal version of Keep Me There, a McVie song where the chord progression & bass riff appear:
And here’s Stevie Nicks’ The Chain, same chorus, different verse…
I’m sure I saw something on Beeb4 a while back where a 60s/70s type band (was it the Moody Blues?) almost literally spliced 2 unfinished songs together to form one of their more well known tracks. I can remember no more than that, though.

If it was The Moody Blues it might have been Question. Not sure it was physically spliced together by the engineer/producer but it did start out as 2 completely separate songs written by Hayward
Good Vibrations is spliced and diced; half an hour’s worth of individual musical segments stitched together to make a sub 4 minute pop song.

Just watched that 1977 performance all the way through. Christ, they were good weren’t they? They had it all.
Maybe Roxy Music – In Every Dream Home a Heartache – with the transition at about 3:05.
