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 Bob_Loblaw
Set one really doesn't contain anything to write about aside from some interesting experimental jamming coming out of LXL. Aside from that it really comes off somewhat dull.
Set two
Kicks off with a stronger than usual Mike's Song that gradually rises. The key to this jam (and much of the rest of the set) can be found in Fish, who is literally beating the ever living crap out of the drums for the latter half of the jam. The segue into Simple is clean as usual. What is off to me is the much slower than usual tempo. I expect simple to rip when they go into it from Mikes and this one has a slow and steady vibe to it. Where they trying something new? Probably.
Now here comes the most interesting part of the show. My Left Toe sandwiched into Mikes Groove is a fantastic choice. They are still working hard to master the ambient jams. What is more interesting is how it works as almost a type of I Am Hydrogen type jam. Even in the entry Fish teases I Am Hydrogen and mid jam it even sounds like it. This allows them to accomplish what hydrogen does and stretch it out.
Caspian is a great choice out of the ambiance can't knock it for that. And Weekapaug shreds and grooves more than it typically does, firing on all cylinders towards the end.
An interesting show with some great setlist ideas. But because of the dull first set and at times fluffy 2nd set I'd rate it as an average show.
