I went to the Dylan concert on the 15th July in Stockton, last of the baseball field tour. I didn't spot a lap steel in the Dylan set up but Don Herron, did play sometimes on a psg that was off to my right from Dylan and often obscured. Very hard to hear it in the mix.
But the most steel at the concert was that provided by the WiYo guys. When they were setting up the guy who brought the steel out carried it upside down over his head, flipped it over deftly and set it down on its legs. I was a long way away but through a friend's small binoculars I thought it looked like a double Gibson.
Does anyone know for sure what the WiYo steeler plays? I didn't hear his name.

Teddy Weber plays a 1955 Rickenbacker "triple 8" steel guitar, according to the Wiyo's Myspace blog. Some of their photos on their Myspace page show him with a tricone (or metal body National type guitar), and in at least one it looks like a Gibson doubleneck.

Thanks Brad
In my first post, I realize I wrote July 15 when I meant August 15, '09.
I used the link you gave to look at the Wiyo site and thought the guitar I you thought might be a double Gibson is the one I saw. Through the binoculars it seemed to have the flame maple front like the Console Grande doubles. When the guy flipped it I wasn't look through binoculars, but it looked right for a double.
