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've only listened to about 15% of all the shows that the band has played in their entirety but if anyone can recommend a show that contains more raw emotion than the Coventry ones, I would love to hear it.
The composed pieces are still botched and they don't get any easier on the ears but the improv is still good and full of emotion. Drowned even contains a Maggot Brain-like segment around the 8-min mark that upon re-listen really encapsulates for me what the band must have been going through.
Everyone has suffered loss at some point in their lives and if you can see it approaching you don't necessarily have your A-game. If i was about to loose something I had cultivated and nurtured for the last 20 years and had to face thousands of people while it occurred, I wish that I could show half the composure that they did on those days.
