Very nice, though his steel part in 'Soon' wasn't written for pedal steel and can be played on regular steel. Here's Steve playing it on his Fender Dual Pro 6:Tom Spaulding wrote:Steve Howe on a double-neck playing "Soon" from Relayer:

In his early 90's book, "The Steve Howe Guitar Collection" he says, "I've used the Dual 6 for many, many recordings. One of the earliest was the gentle, spacey finale of 'Gates of Delirium', a section we usually referred to as 'Soon' because that's what Jon is singing most of the time."
Regarding his Sho-Bud D10 he says, "On record, I first used the Sho-Bud on 'To Be Over' from 'Relayer'. At the 37:25 mark of the following vid from the same show as the 'Soon' video, during the beginning of the 'To Be Over' solo you can see him mashing those pedals

I'm a bit of a Steve Howe nut (obviously) and I could be wrong, but AFAIK he only brought the Sho-Bud D10 on tour in '74 and '75 when they played 'To Be Over'. The rest of the 70's tours he usually played all his slide parts on the Fender Dual Pro 6 or on rare occasion a Fender Stringmaster 4 neck
