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.
I have yet to listen l, and still will, but from the view of the show discussion thread last night (again, such a solid crew in there recently) it was clear the anticipation was subdued, even if the set up on stage felt like a potential Phish sleight of hand.
The elephant (or veiled amp) in the room sort of told it all as if there was a timer counting down the seconds to the sit in. And then, it begs the question, can a sit in carry a show. By your estimation it did not. I tend to agree here.
I am puzzled that they wouldn’t have learned from the previous night and jumped out in front of things to either a) put the sit in during Set 1 with a return for the encore) or 2) [lolz] kept it set 2 but jumped right into the bluegrass to get things rolling and then used the downhilll momentum to tear into WB and others.
Of course, we always think we know better, and hindsight is 20-20 but they literally had hindsight.
