Classical Rock


I'm hoping to expand my Classical Rock playlist.  So far I have:

Jan & Dean - Pop Symphony No. 1
The Moody Blues - Days Of Future Past
Deep Purple - Concerto For Group And Orchestra
LSO - British Invasion
The Who - Who's Serious

Any other suggestions?

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

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.

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.

Good one, another that I forgot.
I have it.
Although Track 13 A Quiet Moment fits better into the Ambient p/l.  
Thanx agaim
bdp24.   .......
I forgot about Procol Harum. Thanks.
I also have the Danish recording in '08.
The other two do not meet the criteria.

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