Great name is Eddie Jobson! 
Historic rock passages with Zappa and Jethro Tull 
Don't forget him in the amazing first UK album.
 
The Dixie Dregs have already been mentioned and as it seems the OP is mostly looking for the rock side of things I think they are essential for him to check out. Specially recommended the live BRING 'EM BACK ALIVE and the studio WHAT IF.

Not to forget Magma! What would their first live album be without the great Gidier Lockwood on violin (who was only seventeen years old at the timne of recording)?
And how about some of the live albums of Peter Hammill? "There Goes the Daylight" and "Veracious" both feature Stuart Gordon on violin.

Well, I know it's only one song, but the violin solo in Losing It (Rush, Signals) is the highlight, and one of the best I've heard. It was by guest Violinist Ben Mink.

Don't forget:
 
MAGMA and Didier Lockwood in the "Hhaï" live album from 75
 
Franck Zappa in the 70's with Jean Luc Ponty (especially the King Kong album) Sugar Caine Harris and Eddie Jobson
 
UK: with Eddie Jobson
 
Allan Holdsworth himself played  some violin in his early albums (I think I.O.U)
 
The french group ATOLL in his 2nd album "L'araignée mal" has some good violin
 
David Rose and his excellent album "Distance between dreams"
 
Darryl way's Wolf group
 
ZAO and Yoshk'o Seffer albums
