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.

The My Friend opener was great, launching straight into a brief Ha Ha Ha. Scent of a Mule was awesome as always, and Suspicious Minds was a real treat. Probably to this day the best Fishman singing performance I've seen live. Plus, the humorous 'dog log' crowd interactions were really fun, and can remember us debating whether or not a 'Dog Log' album would actually be coming out. lol. Warren Haynes showing up was also entirely unexpected. Not sure why he appeared in Portland Maine of all places, but it was great to see him on stage with Phish. I wound up seeing him play with the Allmans a few times shortly thereafter.
This show really illustrated the fun the band was having at the time, and it absolutely transferred over to the crowd. They were clearly this whacky, uncannily talented band, that didn't seem to take themselves too seriously, and were still somewhat flying under the radar. (somewhat, and not for much longer). So this was my virgin Phish experience, and I still look back on it nostalgically.
