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.
Review by SlavePhan
THE BAD: This is very likely the weakest of the entire summer tour, mainly because it is a one-set show, but also because the band plays the show extremely safely, with no experimentation. The Stash just pales in comparison to the previous two shows' versions, and YEM, while it does have about 4 minutes worth of guests playing, is just a big cacophonous racket with no direction. Even Coil, a song I default to, is somewhat lackluster here.
ETC: There's the stunt mentioned in the liner notes which actually does show up a slight bit on tape (you can hear the audience cheer). Also, if you listen carefully, you can distinctly hear the audience clapping to Stash, somewhat earlier than when the band picked up on the trend. No teases, though; the band clearly wasn't playing to their usual fan base for this one.
BOTTOM LINE: A one-set festival show with the band playing it safe yields a weak result. 2/5
