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 ;-).
