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.
DWD didn't meet my expectations. It was good, but I didn't think it matched the praise dropped on it. Theme was a good one, with Trey contributing melodically to the solo in ways I'd be happy to hear again.
Tweezer was type ii, and the final few minutes contain probably the most colorful jamming of the night.
Caspian is not uninspired. The song and brief jam perfectly convey the environment of a tranquil shoreline in the evening. Perfectly done!
For those who go to Phish expecting a non-stop dance party, who are disappointed by the band's exploration or quieter musical environments, please take a moment to reflect. Trey is greatly influenced by classical music and classical musicians. He loves to rock out, but he also loves these quieter soundscapes, and the whole band has become masterful with such spaces. Caspian-> Waiting All Night may not be your thing, but the band is inspired and awake, alert, on point with these selections.
Fuego-> Tweezer-> Slave-> 2001 are all great, maintaining the lyrical tone of the show. And Boogie-> Lope! The 2009 Miami Boogielope had something of a Trey-bortion when changing songs. This segue, by contrast, was fluid, continuing the Boogie rhythm all the way to the end of the Antelope intro. The band attempted towards an all-time Antelope peak, and although Trey went for the stretch, he got a little lost in the effects and didn't match up until a tremendous final note. Perhaps he'll push and end this tour with an all-time version.
Low key encore to send everyone home.
