Part of the problem is that you rarely hear an orchestra make a wrong move on record (which they'll do in spades live) and the well-known orchestras are whipped something rotten.

the link should go to a wav file of Ringo Starr in Frank Zappa's 200 Motels, which if you haven't seen, you should and then the context will be self-evident
