John Baggott

Around 2:18 in the Roseland NYC performance in which he performed as a sideman for Portishead you can see John's Moog Source while he's tweaking a space echo during Mysterons.

In this performance of Only You by Portishead during their excellent Roseland Ballroom performance you can see John's RE-301 chorus echo really clearly starting at about the 2 minute mark. The distinctive space echo coloring coupled with the chorus echo knob count/layout make it unmistakably a 301.

Used live, as stated by bandmate Adrian Utley in this November 2008 Sound on Sound interview.

A Portishead performance is always an event, and the band have been unusually active on the live front this year. "It's the same line–up as in the past," explains Adrian Utley. "Clive Deamer is on drumkit (and the back of a guitar for 'Nylon Smile'). John Baggott is on keyboards — Akai sampler, Fender Rhodes, Hammond clone, Siel Orchestra, Minimoog, Roland SH09 for the Theremin-type sounds (which I did on SH101 for Dummy and then on an SH09 live, then a Mini). Jim Barr is on bass — and guitar, because there's quite a lot of double guitar parts, and even Minimoog on 'We Carry On'. Geoff [Barrow] stands up playing drums. He's got a cocktail kit, which was a bit of a revelation, really. There's a stand–up kind–of tom, that's long, with a bass drum pedal which hits the bottom of the tom, and the top is like a floor tom. They often come with a little snare and crappy stuff, but he's added a proper snare, and he uses trigger pads.
