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.
However, the totality of this set, CDT> Light> Tweezer, certainly IS on par with those experiences.
What gives me goosebumps is that we had to wait until the Gorge shows last year before there was jamming of this quality to brag about. Then, with the exception of Tahoe, which was the high water mark of Summer '13, the band appeared to peak during Fall Tour. The New Year's run, though it had numerous highlights, displayed a band which seemed to have lost a little of the edge of Fall Tour, as the playing was considerably more ragged and looser than in the Fall.
Yet here we are, only 10 shows into the summer, and they've been consistently hitting peaks which we raved about in the Fall. Even the average shows this tour have had really memorable and noteworthy moments.
At this rate, we can realistically anticipate a tour that will go down in the books as one of the very best ever. The band is truly in a rennaissance period. Who would have thought this possible four years ago?
Phish Destroys The World Again. Could a Europe '14 be around the corner?
BTW, I personally feel that the Light is the best part of this triumvarate jam.
