One of the best orchestral type things I saw was with Page and Plant at the Skydome in Toronto about 10 years ago. They had a traditional orchestra (T.O Symphony) plus an orchestra(?) of Indian musicians also. Kashmir rocked. Otherwise if it is done in a half assed way just to do it, I'd rather pass.
Got a good laugh at what roachboy said earlier regarding how straight and lame the 19th century bit is. Reminded me of failing a big composition assignment (Rock band accompanied by strings) because the string quartet I was writing for had the violin voices below the viola and cello, and the latter higher.Asshole comp prof failed me for not sticking to the rules but the orchestra musicians who performed it thought it was pretty cool.
