Quote from: kenny mac on June 18, 2015, 05:24:22 AMWow great,but that version with the orchestra really blew me away,that violinist was amazing.
Great song that passes over so well.

Totally agree, everything perfect, even down to the little oboe(?) part right at the end.

And it was IU in Bloomington. I spent a lot of time in Bloomington with my old job.

I, too, love that orchestral arrangement. Most excellent, dudes.

Regarding the orchestral arrangement, I recently heard a new album of prog rock classics that's quite good. It was recorded at Abbey Road Studios by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
