I couldn't agree more. It looked like at least a couple of time Phil and Bobby gave Trey the "slow down" sign. Not to take away at all from how amazing he was at these shows, or how amazing he is with Phish, but a bit more patience would, I think, be a very good thing.

I don't know, man. At least during the Scarlet - Fire.... It wasn't just Let Trey Sing; it was: Let Trey Ring!

I say 'more notes.'

I hear so much of the same in so much of the recent "II" jamming.

I get the patience bit, but I'm ready for some more Trey-centric playing, rife with that warm sound and action.
Not sure if you're advocating that Trey has more patience.....or less.

The band was playing a lot of upbeat numbers very slowly. This was not a benefit to the music. It was sign that the band was thinking and needed time to process. They couldn't play at the pace they needed to because....they couldn't. So Trey had to slow down for them, not because he was impatient.

Hornsby cuts off the signature riff of Fire by jumping on the lyrics, but Trey covered his tracks nicely. I felt Trey held back during this run and showed great respect/restraint. If he had let loose, only Phil could have stayed with him.
