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.
Not every "jam" has to be a has to be a type 2 mission to mars to be great
For me personally, when I think hall of fame Phish I think of things like 12/30/93 Mike's Song or 12/31/93 Hood or 10/31 Divided Sky as much as I think of a Riverport Gin or Lakewood Ghost. Early 90s Trey blazing through a fury of perfectly executed notes leading up to a face melting peak is as "Hall of Fame" as any late 90s extended jam to me. So yeah I'd have plenty of type I Rebas/Hoods/Slaves/etc on my list (and I did)
As far as Tahoe Tweezer goes, It's great but there is nothing IMO that puts it ahead of plenty of other late 90s/2.0/3.0 jams other than when it occurred. I thought Summer '13 was pretty weak until they hit the West Coast, and that wasn't for a lack of extended jams its b/c they sounded rusty and Trey was leaning heavily on his whammy. Then that Tweezer came seemingly out of nowhere and people went nuts. That's not in any way trying to say it isn't great, it's just trying to somehow explain the ridiculous amount of hype that somehow made it #1 on this list
