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.
What drew me into Phish many years ago is the fact that they play different shows every night. You get to compare and contrast. There used to be nothing like hearing about some legendary performance and then getting the tapes in the mail a few weeks later.
Without bad shows, you can't have good shows. Without terrible shows, you can't have legendary shows. If you prefer to just take an "it's all good" attitude, more power to you. But for me, if every Phish show made me feel exactly the same, I might as well go on tour with Steve Miller.
