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.
How did the crowd react to that Fuego tease in 46 Days? I know at home, I was like, "Whoa, what was that? Did anyone get the license plate?" And I just listened to it about 5 times in a row here at the office.
I know its not everyone's first choice, but I'm glad many fans can still enjoy a song-oriented set or show once in a while, regardless of the inevitable digi-criticism. When done well with good playing and flow, it can lend itself to a high-energy experience, keeping everyone on their toes.
I'd also like to questions whether, while many fans might consider a lack of jamming the result of an "off night" for the band, is it possible they enjoy ripping through like 25 songs in a night on occasion? And that should be an expected, if not embraced part of the package?
