Hi Ken/all
Sorry to say but I saw the Toronto show and I can tell you with absolute certainty that neither he nor Wix played a mellotron. I also had a good view of the gear from the front of the stage. Many new keyboards but no Mk V or any other tron unfortunately. I also approached the edge of the stage after the concert to confirm.
One explanation is that maybe the tron was used in the tail end of the tour because the set list had changed in the last few shows, and these shows included more late 60's material. No doubt he brought it for the tour, it just wasn't used in too many performances.

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 ;-).
