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.

From the sound of the tape, the turnout is pretty good and some of the audience is clearly familiar with the material. After Divided Sky, Trey tells the crowd “We’re finally here, after years of trying to play California.”
During a clean but otherwise unremarkable YEM, the band's vocal jam includes them repeating "Take off your jacket now".
Trey introduces Fishman by saying "“His first performance ever in Color- excuse me, California."
Fishman's solo includes an explanation of the source of his new vacuum. "I bought this for $69 I Colorado. In Steamboat Springs. My other one’s an Electrolux but it’s dying. I found this at a vacuum sale. It’s got as much power per square inch as an Electrolux."
The early Chalkdust starts off a little tentatively, but finishes nicely. An historic night, even if there's little that's musically memorable about it.
