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.
Looking at the model output, you can tell what the ideal 3.0 show looks like on paper:
--three sets, with only a few songs per set
--lots of segues
--major bustouts
--narration songs
--played on a weekend at a festival
...sounds like a good time to me!
Also the time trend indicates that either recent shows have biased ratings, or the band is improving over the course of 3.0. Probably both are true.
