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.

Awesome song selection/placement. Wolfman's Brother was a very well jammed out opener, then Page got on the grand piano in a wonderful recurring theme, first as part of a Sparkle-ing Gin cocktail. Back on the Train is a personal favourite and I wish it could have been extended, but they had other plans as we went Halfway to the Moon in a beautifully played version with really nice interplay between Page and Trey. Stash and Esther were the highlights of the set, in my opinion, with nice little detours from the usual composed sections, with a solid standard Bowie closer. It was my friend's second show and Stash is his favourite, which was a nice treat for him.
Set 2, which I will henceforth dub the "Llama in No Man's Sand" set, was simply spectacular. That Sand, holy heck it was dirty and we were mesmerized by its range. This song has a way of following me to nearly every city I go, and it is always a welcome guest, most of all tonight. The smooth transition to NMINML for another 15 min burner was incredible to take in. The seamless back and forth between Trey and Page was very evident tonight, and this was solidified during Mountains in the Mist. But perhaps the chose set title is unfair in that it excludes the contribution of Scents and Subtle Sounds, a high energy blissful version that sealed the fate of this set as an absolute banger.
And if that weren't enough, that encore SOAM, my word! Best encore song I have bore witness to (to be followed by the best encore set the following night...), it went to dark places, crunchy, funky and wildly improvisational, just the cherry on top of an incredible show!
