Peter Schat's Thema op.21 (1970) inspired by James Brown's "I Feel Alright" is scored for four bassoons, five clarinets, Hammond organ, bass guitar, three trombones, three saxophones, three trumpets, three guitars and oboe.   There's a recording in the Concertgebouw Live collection.

That sounds pretty cool. I'll have to check it out since coincidentally I own those Concertgebouw sets, too. ;) 8)

Of course there is Yngwie Johann (otherwise spelled Johan!) Malmsteens Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E flat minor, Op.1 'Millenium'
I have a recording with him and Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yoel Levi from 1998

It can also be found on YouTube
