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 can't add much more than what's already been said, but I'm not sure I've seen a jam with more textures than this one in a live setting. There were some pretty funny exchanges going on all around me about what they were going to segue into, as everyone anticipated a more standard 10 minute jam into something else. I kept mental notes, and as I re-listen it went something like this:
-6 minutes in, a girl in front of me says "Tweezer, yeah!". Just kidding.
-around 12 mins in, I hear calls of "Makisupa". Then, nope!
-at 19 minutes in, the guy behind me says "2001, for sure". Two minutes later he looks on, confused.
-21 minutes in, I call out "Kung!" to a few smiles. No dice
-at 24 minutes in, I was certain of "Frankenstein". Still nothing!
And then the mighty Ghost. Just fantastic, I put this one up there with 12.31.10 when considering how it all evolved. The flow of the second set was just brilliant from there on, culminating in a blistering GTBT. As well played as the Phish standards were tonight, you have to tip your hat to the covers as they really shined on 8/15.
