Orchestrated Rock...Uriah Heep and others

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zau-okpFssg

Released in 1971 Salisbury by Uriah Heep was always one of my favorite Prog Rock albums and groups.

I recently re-listened to the re-mastered title track on my high end system for the first time. Kind of blew my mind. 16 minutes long.

I concluded that I’ve always enjoyed orchestrated rock, which probalby started with Neal Young’s Harvest.

Any suggestions of other classic rock groups that used orchestration would be appreciated.

It is truly a rock opera & has much orchestration. The original recording isn’t bad & the reissue was cleaned up a bit & overall better sounding. Turn off the lights, turn it up load & enjoy! ”Life’s a Long Song” by the brilliant Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull fame is a beautiful song from their “Living in the Past” in 1971. He has often performed w/ full symphony orchestras many of his classic hits. There’s a great version of him w/ a string quartet, drummer & piano on YouTube. Try this: YouTube.com/watch?v=nys-gSP8oVE
