Orchestral maneuvers in the park

11668942h8286121 Didn't have $26 to see the Decemberists at Riviera? Well, problem solved! Metro announced today that the band will play a free show July 18 in Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion. It's all part of the Wrigleyville venue's 25th anniversary. But why aren't they having the show at the Metro, you ask? Because the Portland five-piece will be accompanied by the Grammy-nominated, 82-piece Grant Park Orchestra, which will provide orchestral arrangements to the songs. Sounds fun to us, but we wonder: Does this sound like a wee bit over the top to you?

Nope, not over the top.

Any Decemberists fan can appreciate over the top. Song about being swallowed by a whale? Check.
