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 CreatureoftheNight
Saturday set a pretty high bar for them to top and Party Time gave us a sign of what was to come. I felt like the set was a jukebox of songs they hadn’t played, and a couple of us mentioned the heavy use of past Halloween songs, a signpost for the monstrous Ghost in the second set. Nothing stands out too much from the first frame, but each song kept the pit engaged and dancing.
Much will be written about the second set. The Ghost took a little while to get going, but the motif king on guitar kept the melody flowing. As heard in the Alpine Ruby Waves, I loved how the Ghost jam nearly died and was patiently resurrected.
Soul Planet might have more immediate direction and focus, catching an insanely infectious groove halfway through and building to an absolutely euphoric peak. But wait, after a return to the head, Trey takes off AGAIN! God I’m so glad this practice is becoming commonplace.
Billy was the perfect breather, as we all needed it. The DC Melt topped the one from Alpine, nearly causing all of us to go into seizures. Slave was the only encore that could have ended this unbelievable show.
When I come to a Phish show, this is exactly what I hope will happen. Extended, engaging and creative exploration where I leave absolutely exhausted and wondering where my face went. I hope everyone else had as much fun as we did!! Thanks to the band, crew, staff and all those smiling faces who were able to share in such a magical evening.
