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.
By your measure, ratings are totally subjective. You could assign all "10s" and have made no progress. If the idea is to compare the shows against one another, there are going to be 10/10 shows and 1/10 shows (or technically, 0/10).
Either way, the idea is that if there's a such thing as an average show, half the shows are better and half the shows are worse. Eric says *Sunday* was worse and ultimately non-notable. And, as expected, many people have short-term memory syndrome and always believe the last show was "epic", no matter what it was.
