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.
If you can't listen to music you haven't heard before, I feel sorry for you. It's a phish show. Trust the pilots, enjoy the ride.
IMO the first set was a well constructed response to the critics of Big Boat. Start with the tune that Ezrin put last, the least poppy, most old school, most ambitious song on the record. Add in two other new tunes, that, had this live performance been their true debut, would have had fans geeked up beyond all recognition. Add a solid Baththub and you've got a nice tour opener 1st set. 2nd set DwD-Cities, Light, and Hood all stellar and in a very well structured setlist.
Harlemcracka had a pre-existing narrative, one that does not excuse being rude to other concert goers by imposing your judgment about what was worth listening to upon your neighbors.
Zach Stearns, nice job on the recap with the sharp observations and objective tone.
