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 was in front of the soundboard, great group of people around me. Didn't know Justin Bieber was there, after seeing all the celebrities at the Hollywood Bowl --they sure as hell aren't going to Long Beach on a Wednesday-- funny he'd show up in the LB.
My impression of the show matches pretty much with pzerbo's. I was expecting kinda ragged "first show of tour" playing but they all played well. Trey was consistently good all night --he even played the Mr. Miner part in Hood correctly!-- a virtuoso at the top of his game. Loved his solos in Stash, Gin, Ghost and LxL.
One thing I was a bit disappointed about was that the RnR jam, while very interesting and containing some very cool jamming, kind of hummed along at the same spacey pace. There were a couple of points where Trey locked in to a cool riff and looked over at Fish, as if to say, "OK, 4/4 rock out" and Fish just kept playing fast fills on the toms and cymbals.
Overall, I had a great time and I wish I had the money to go to the Bill Graham or Dick's Sporting Goods shows. Oh well, 'til the 2013 summer tour........
