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.

Great musicians, the always entertaining Mr. Byrne and a small group of strings.
