Well, he does have that small side-job as a producer too. 
I was trying to say that as a musician, he is best known for that particular song.
David Gilmour on the PULSE live album and DVD. “One of These Days”, “High Hopes” and “The Great Gig In the Sky”. Gilmour has done a few versions of One of These Days, this is my favorite. It’s only available on the DVD, it wasn’t included on the CD.
Ok, understood, and I didn’t want to be a wise-ass. But note that he also regularly contributed guitar (mostly slide/steel) on the records he produced for others.
Not a wise-ass! I always enjoy your posts as they are typically value-added which can’t always be said for mine. 
This is a great example of pedal steel usage outside the norm!
The aforementioned Michael Nesmith with steel player Red Rhodes also did a version of that ditty:
I just thought that this thread needs some Ben Keith, frequent collaborator with Neil Young and part of one of his bands, the Stray Gators, so here’s a nice tune:
Hehehe, total nitpick, but I think he’s playing a Dobro/Resonator on that recording. A related instrument, but not the same thing (and I need to get me a Dobro). 
Brian Eno, “Deep Blue Day”. One of my favorites, so good it actually makes me tear up. Daniel Lanois is playing the steel.
Maggie Bjorklund is an innovative pedal steel player. I like her work a lot.
Here’s another of hers.
You probably wouldn’t expect Fountains of Wayne to employ a pedal steel, but they did several tunes with a country twang, including Hung Up On You (Robert Randolph sitting in).
Of the Flying Burrito Brothers, I should add.
Looking back on the OP, I notice they didn’t post the song.
One of the most iconic pedal steel songs, probably the pedal steel performance that has been heard the most by non-country fans, and the player is surprised me:
Jerry Garcia
In the Get Back documentary George is shown fooling around with a lap steel, but when they did the recording on “For You Blue” John was the one actually playing it.
He talks about pedal steel with World Cafe in this. Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter, the most interesting man in music? : World Cafe : NPR Jump to around 17:15. The whole interview is pretty cool. I actually stopped using the power tools in the shop while it was on.
