Saw Trey and Boston Pops last night in Lenox, Mass/ My first time, but not my last. Rainy, but so worth it!.

Love you Trey. Thank you for your joy, and sharing that bliss with all of us for so long now.

As a clarinet player in an orchestra, and an audience member at the show, I have to imagine the culture shock for the performers of something like this. We aren't used to audience members singing along, clapping along, cheering as loud as Phish fans do, etc. It's definitely different than anything they've done before or will do again. I'm sure they had tons of fun, but I'm also sure it was strange for those members of the orchestra who are only used to performing in an orchestral setting.

Cameo by Huak Tuah girl at 11:03 was the best part 🤣🤣🤣

I’m not sure if he’s still using it, but he gets that guitar tone out of a 5-watt amp. Michael Swart made it.

Huge overstep by the conductor. If Trey runs, you run.

I say this as a clarinet player in an orchestra - that's not how that works. You simply cannot get an entire orchestra to rush. It quite literally isn't possible. Trey was supposed to follow the sheet music, as when you're playing with a full classically trained ensemble you have set arrangements, and he didn't. That's his fault. An entire classical orchestra is going to follow the sheet music and what they did in rehearsal as that's all they know. The conductor and performers did their job and did it marvelously. Trey messed up. In fact, on the conductor's music stand, there's a clock that tells him what measure they're on and counts the beats. If he had rushed, the entire rest of the song would be off time and would sound terrible. A more realistic complaint is that Don composed the arrangement at too slow a tempo. He should have increased the tempo just a little bit to ensure that it was the tempo Trey wanted to perform at
