OT: Live with an orchestra

Kinda can't believe @Bigboote didn't lead off with something like this. A symphonic metal band performing with a full orchestra is just meant to be. Bonus points for the song being set to the tune of a well known classical piece.

I was thinking Nightwish. But as you said -- that is their natural state (kind of).

Wow! That was incredible. Everyone in that performance played their part to perfection. (And you even get Yo-Yo Ma jamming in the audience!) Ann Wilson is a golden goddess whom I had the great good fortune to run into when I was a kid in a crazy instance of being in the right place at the right time. When I saw her and got her autograph, I was like one of the little girls who collapse into tears when they get Paige to sign their jersey. :)

I was just waiting a bit. I just got the shipping notice for the DVD your vid is from. Here’s a classic:

I was glad to see that Jason Bonham was invited to play the drums while his father's friends and group mates were being honored.
 
Here's Icelandic söngvari Laufey, whom a fellow Boneyarder introduced me to recently (thank you, greatly enjoying her!). Like Mason Williams five+ decades ago she's not a rocker, but somehow she's become immensely popular.

 
Amy Lee (Evanescence) and the Wagakki Band - Bring Me To Life
Trying to stick to the original parameters: live, rock band, orchestra; + some traditional Japanese instruments.

Oh, that’s so cool! Amy Lee with an orchestra, shakuhachi, koto, and all the rest of it.
 
Renaissance live at Carnegie Hall wasn't filmed, but here's the audio of Mother Russia:

 
Not sure if this counts, because it’s just a string section, but it’s arguably one of Bruce’s best songs, with the added bonus of a string section.

 
Styx & the Cleveland Youth Orchestra (love seeing high schools kids playing in situations like this. It brings back so many memories of band/orchestra/etc from the "good old days"...

2 Songs, the first (Blue Collar Man) and the last (Renegade).

This one's a little off-center. It really doesn't have an accompanying symphony orchestra--but it's exceptionally symphonic. One critic called it "crypto-classical." The instruments included mellotron, reed organ, flute, and harpsichord, plus the usual drums and guitars. The production was beautiful. (And the album cover was enthralling--it was painted by a young guy who used his own face as the model, and who died shortly after the album's release, at the age of 24.)

One of a kind.

 
I LOVE this lady, her voice just blows me away. Their music was made to have orchestra playing with them. Amy Lee and Evanescence .
