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.
Regarding the woos.......the scene (and I wasn't there I leave in the East) with the woos is obviously taking on a (ridiculous) life of of it's own. What can you do?
The band is huge now, they're a happening scene and lots of folks think it's great fun. But I feel your pain with it. It reminds me specifically of the late 80's when it became the yuppie thing to do to attend Dead shows. All of sudden people wearing alligator shirts and gelled hair are standing next to old hippies.
The hippies and old Heads who were used to 5,000 seat venues and intimacy with the music were greatly annoyed by 13,000 screaming kids who had no history with the band stealing the scene. It was unnerving but it's the price of success.
I think band really likes to please their fans and I also think they're a lot more sensitive to our criticisms than they would ever admit publically.
The set lists in the last week and a half to me are evidence of a clear and deliberate attempt to address what a lot of us have been complaining about this tour.
Wonder if we see Taste tonight (one of my favorites) as we are a pace at this point to play everything in the catalog by the end of Dicks.
Nice job, man
