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.
Now THAT'S why I have always loved Phish. I had the feeling that as soon as I heard those opening notes to C&P that they were on a mission. 2 1/2 shows at Bill Graham - a place they obviously hold dear to their hearts - without really hitting their stride. I knew they were going to put all their energy into this, but I had no idea it would flow and be so energetic like it was. It really was the perfectly executed set, with the cherry on top with Ride Captain Ride and Tweeprise. At times, when I hear something so perfect, the beauty overcomes me and I start to tear up... I did that three or four times over the second set and encore. Including the 35+ shows I've seen live plus all the online videos and DVDs, etc., that was the BEST SET I have ever witnessed.
Congrats to the boys, they seemed to get a lot of satisfaction out of the set, and A LOT of fun. And congrats to all who got to attend a very special show.
The energy was off the charts, circa '89-'91 level. I hope they're exercising and eating right so we can continue to have fantastic shows like this for years to come!!!
