It's a live show thing, for sure, & as long as they're not too drawn out, in some settings, they work well. We do a big ending occasionally, & the video example below is the longest it ever gets.

Excellent drawn out end, Andy, and the crowd were right into it. At that point in the night it's an unstructured energy exchange between band and audience - the experts might say it's expressionist
My band has a couple of hams ends too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIGPb7-Lfjs#t=4m11s
Haha - we're covering some of the hoariest of hoary old standards
