Pity that it's invisible in the mix, plenty of video shots but I couldn't hear it at all in the mix.
Maybe I need to clean my ears out

You are not missing anything worth hearing, Scott! Their grossly exaggerated American accents and tons and tons of reverb on everything gets very boring very quickly. Over here they are on the radio every hour, luckily on channels I don't listen to.Scott Duckworth wrote:Video not available for the US... bummer.

Per is right, Scott. My first thought was "Can't hear the steel!" but my second was "So what?"

It very much depends on what mood I'm in
To be fair I had been watching an episode of the original Star Trek before listening to that clip.
Must have got the wrong idea about what they meant by,

The steel is in the mix but it is jammed almost to silence because the violins and orchestra plays more or less the exact same thing 
Ar least thats what I hear on that clip

On Letterman:

Probably similar arrangement and performance.
It's an act and it seems very groomed.
But I can't find anything much to complain about. The steel adds to the music but it does blend into the strings. They could have left it out without too much detriment. They chose to keep it. Good for them.

Good to see this on Letterman, the same song they performed on Jools Holland.
The steel is not as prominent in the mix as most of us here on the forum would like, but at least it's there played live and not mimed by a 6-string guitarist with a bottleneck slide.
