The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
I still maintain that Saturday night (or substitute a night) shows must not merely be 'all right.'
Some have suggested a bit of travel fatigue. Be that at all the case (I agree; plus, there is that following a really great show aspect, too....), perhaps ANOTHER Disease opens because of a certain comfort level? I think this lends to very similar sounding playing, and a cessation, rather than infusion, of ideas. Open with the Halleys, or, better yet, What's the Use? Neither are technically demanding, and the band can use the time to communicate - as they did so well in Ohio - and see where that leads.
Or why not BDTBL; or, more interestingly, Possum 500?
I'm still just a bit stymied by the constant go-to choices (which have now been so clearly illustrated).
