There is a fine line sometimes between the treatment of modern rock/pop music by a orchestra which boarders on musak - music for lifts - which "A Classic Case" avoids.
It would be a rather fine thing for someone like Dee to produce an album of Ian's songs that (a) have no band member involvement with the performance and (b) are not usually associated with an orchestral score.
Wind Up, Mother Goose, Rocks On The Road, Heavy Horses for example but done in a way that doesn't cheapen the music and is sympathetic to the music so it doesn't end up being played as background music in the nearest Sainsburys.
Oh yes TT, agree about Fly By Night although War Child remains my own favourite.

"A Classic Case" is one of my favorite Tull (or "Tullish") albums. In particular, what David "Dee" Palmer does for "Fly By Night" and "War Child" is utterly fantastic. And I don't think Ian Anderson ever did a better flute solo than on this album's version of "Locomotive Breath". For the symphony's part, doesn't it seem like the LSO is having a damn good time?
Another great one in the symphonic series that D. Palmer released is "We Know What We Like" (the music of Genesis). Steve Hackett and Ian guest on the album, and songs like "Can-Utility and the Coastliners", "Undertow/Supper's Ready" and a Medley of "Los Endos" (here listed as "Los Jigos"), "Duke's Travels", "Fountain of Salamacis", "The Knife" and "Unquiet Slumbers" are revelatory. Pick it up if you haven't heard it.
