Perhaps one of the most beautiful renditions of the violin in rock is on Jethro Tulls' stand up album, reasons for waiting. Also the Who's Baba O'Riely, One of my favorite allthough it is not rock is Cosmic Messenger by Jean Luc Ponty.
FM. They were a trio out of Toronto that had a minor hit up here with Phasors on Stun from Black Noise. One LP they released was called Diecrct to Disc. Its when they had a vinyl master cutter and didnt use any tape. It was cut in one go or they tossed it and did the whole thing again. The sound was very clean and clear on it. The violinists name is Nash the Slash. Mr Slash(???) is an amzing violinist. Saw him live and rocked through his own stuff and the best cover of Smoke on the Water Ive heard. Im sure theres tuff is out of print but soem of it it did get to CD. Black Noise is the one to look for.
I know Papa John Creech played in Dragon Fly and yeah that has some of the best violins on it. Ouststanding album IMHO. I also think He palyed on a few other Jefferson Starship albums. But that was the mid 70s. ;)
