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.
This show is destined to be overrated because of the tour bust-out factor. Esther and Sloth are pretty well botched and the jamming in the 2nd set was not as inspired as many others this tour IMO now that I've listened to the recording. It was nice to hear some rarer tunes and the 3rd quarter was pretty great. 4 stars I guess, considering the strong beginning to the show; I loved hearing The Very Long Fuse, Forbin's, and a halfway clean Mockingbird (Trey doesn't play the hardest section on the first pass... but nor did he play wrong notes, he just didn't play, and then he was able to play it correctly if tentatively from then on.) And I'm sure it was a blast in person. But as a recording and as a performance I wouldn't put it in the top half of the summer so far.
