Now Patrick Warren, who played Chamberlin on the album, is no stranger to most on this list. He's played with Michael Penn, Elliot Smith, Fiona Apple to name a few. Actually, unless I'm mistaken, I think he's probably the top artist who still plays a tape replay device on stage these days.

I thought the top artist to play a tape replay device on stage was Sir Paul McCartney in his last tour...

Yes, it would be, if he actually ∗played∗ it! I purchased the McCartney live DVD (best $20 I ever spent) which was recorded during his latest U.S. tour, but I didn't once even SEE his MKV, which Martin tells me he brought with him. I used pause, slow motion, every trick in the book, but I couldn't spot it on stage. Apparently, it would have been located in with the gear for the keyboard player (Wick?). I'm assuming he did play it, but maybe it wasn't recorded on the video. Has anyone ever seen McCartney play a Mellotron on stage? I need details ;-).
