Yes it is a shame... There's not that many opportunities like this.

I think the problem was some of the MSO instruments should have taken the place of the electric instruments normally used. That's where we should have heard the orchestra. But either that arranger guy she brought from LA screwed up, or Stevie was reluctant to deviate from the normal sound and instruments used - and just wanted to try and incorporate the orchestra in with everything else. But as you can hear, that didn't work. Too bad.
