Classical Rock

oldhvymec,
I think he means music that includes orchestra.

Chad and Jeremy -- Of Cabbages and Kings
ELP -- pretty much everything.
Renaissance -- the rock group. Sorry to say, I just can't find any of their LPs on my shelves. Did I sell them all?

S&M - Metallica (1999)
Symphonic Live - Yes (2001)
24 Nights - Eric Clapton (1991)

Dave you missed the boat. AKA Symphonic Rock
I see LSO Us And Them. Is it any good?

I have ELP, Renniassance, Chad & Jeremy.
I’m looking for instrumentation NOT sound.

Yes to Symphonic Live.
They did an obscure Studio album shortly after.
They started their shows in the 70’s with taped orchestral. Firebird. 
Thanks

fuzztone,
Magnification i think is the one on Eagle Records.

Elton John : Madman across the Water 
Arrangment by Paul Buckmaster.
Is it Classical  Rock ??

@ oldhvymec

The heck with it.. I like James Brown, Carlos Santana. Tower of Power, Gram Central Station, AWB, Cool and the Gang.. I liked FUNK... STILL DO!!!!

Ditto I might add Earth Wind & Fire also. And of course all the standard rockers you named above the funk

atemus
You’re off the rail too.

Metallica - Symph. & Metal another good one. So is S & M 2.
EC only released 3 tracks with orchestration on 24.
I already found 2 Floyds (one short of a brewery) that I already have.
All I'm looking for are Symphonic rock covers or an orchestra playing WITH a rock band. Or at least interludes that serve the song as in The Moody's.
NOT classically trained songwriting OR studio arrangements.

Thanks I found it.

The Beach Boys: Pet Sounds.

Randy Newman: self-titled debut.

Procol Harum: Live with The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

bdp24.   .......

I forgot about Procol Harum. Thanks.
I also have the Danish recording in '08.
The other two do not meet the criteria.

New Blood - Peter Gabriel (2011).

petgo 60

Good one, another that I forgot.
I have it.
Although Track 13 A Quiet Moment fits better into the Ambient p/l.  
Thanx agaim

Dave

Being specific is not "picky"
Please do not attempt to explain EWF to me. They are a home town band.
I have 25 albums and Live In Japan '88 vid.
R.I.P. Mo
They did their 50th show in James Taylor's backyard.

London Symphony Orchestra  : Plays the music of the Beatles

Anything Moody Blues. 

Yngwie malmsteens concerto suite is good. Japanese philharmonic orchestra. 
Newest blind guardian. 
New UDO w/orchestra is ok. 

Great Italian prog band, Banco, did an all instrumental album called "Di Terra" in 1978.

It is one of the best integrations of a prog band and an orchestra I've ever heard. It doesn't just sound like a rock band fronting an orchestra. They play as an integrated unit with the orchestra.

And it's also not just orchestral arrangements of previous band material, or pop, or mainstream rock. It is modern sounding, fully realized orchestral music.

Sounds good to me.

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. 
... di terra

 The Beach Boys, Elvis, and Roy Orbison were recut using symphonic backing.
Lots of ELO songs are built on orchestration.

Early black sabbath, certain jethro tull, certain led zeppelin, certain jimi hendrix, certain pink floyd, certain steve miller, early zz top, early george thorogood, and early ventures.

Jethro Tull  

The String Quartets

@maxwave

Thanx
Now that one sounds like Turtle Island covering Tull with guest Ian Anderson.
Too bad Jimi couldn’t make it to their Hendrix album.

Mod Rod doesn't work for me since Beck-Ola

@fuzztone
´´ Turtle Island ´´  :  For some Indigenous peoples, Turtle Island refers to the continent of North America. The name comes from various Indigenous oral histories that tell stories of a turtle that holds the world on its back.

It is a lack of culture , I confess .
I finally understood that it was  Turtle Island String Quartet
I learn so many things here.

Stylophone covering  Iron Butterfly

Fuzz guitar at his best

Kansas comes close. Some were classically trained as well.

Kansas has always featured a violinist. Not exactly symphonic. They put on a good show. Great 2015 doc 'bout 'em.

Lighthouse...11 Piece band out of Canada late 60's-Mid 70's. They were an orchestra...Strings/Horns/Woodwinds etc (Somewhere between CHICAGO and BS+T in Sound)

Totally familiar with Lighthouse.  Not exactly orchestral.  Horn arrangements were never in the league of Pankow.  They turned down Woodstock.  I prefer the Lighthouse album by Billy Barber but not for this p/l.

Greatest oxy-moron in history .

Kansas- Always Never the Same. Re-worked songs with an orchestra. 

I don’t like any of this rock-classical crossover stuff, except maybe Eric Carmen’s All By Myself which is probably not what your looking for, but I just heard a free sample from Amazon for Your DJ playlist:

Yes, “Cans and Brahms”

Haven't been a DJ for 53 years. Famous piece. Opposite of desired. I'm looking for ochestral ensembles playing rock with or w/o the band.
Not so much just sweetening the mix. Not synthesized arrangements of classical tunage.  
Thanx anyway.
