I saw a Brian Setzer Orchestra show where they played "The James
Bond Theme," and it was an utterly experience incredible to hear
that song performed live, with both an electric guitar (Setzer's
Gretsch, of course) for the verses AND a full orchestra for the
choruses.
Of course many surf bands have played that one -- and played it well
-- but not with a full horn section for the dah-dah dah-daaaah
parts. I also heard a full symphony play it live once, but without
the cool John Barry Seven-sounding electric lead guitar. Such a
thrill to enjoy a live rendition that actually sounded just like a
movie soundtrack!
