Live Symphony, how about that? Options

[La Mer]

Hello everybody, here you have another +Live+ freak, I follow this forum for a long time but my lazy ass never was up to register.

What struck me last night when I listened too all this Live remixes and outtakes, what would happened if Live was to do The Best of with some symphony orchestra? Like Metallica's S/M stuff. I think it would be awsome, since Live have melodic and rocky songs, and Ed's voice would fit in perfect. I dunno if this idea was up in this forum, if it was, then lock this. If not, I would like too hear you'r comments on this idea.

Big love from Bosnia!

ps. TDTH is one of the best records ever made....There I said it.

The price of it would be huge. They'd need someone (good!) to arrange and orchestrate, the orchestra itself would cost a lot, especially if they were well known- not only for the gig nights, but also for rehearsals... and if they were to release on DVD, the sound set-up would be far more elaborate than the standard live show- the acoustic nuances of the venue would need to be considered far more than they would normally...

Yeah, I don't think it's practical. Some of the stuff would be epic... but I wouldn't want the orchestra to just be a sort of auxilliary rhythm section- they'd have to arrange some interesting counter-melodies, etc... S&M was very well done for the most part.
