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 think the revisiting of the general concept of the jam in multiple incarnations is almost reminiscent of the revisiting of musical concepts in Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue album, as a theme. Not saying in key or sound but in concept. That jam could have ended many times but was patiently expanded on with contributions from everyone and continued to expand on the same musical idea.
This jam to me is an excellent example of creativity and patience.
Also the fact that they wrapped it up as it's own piece of music and didn't -> into something else really closed the whole tune. A fine piece of music that I feel could not be fluffed enough by fans.
