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 SlavePhan
THE BAD: The band must have been exhausted after some thrilling shows earlier in the week, and there are some weaknesses in this one. The Lizards has a few flubs, and things mellow down after the Landlady/BATR combo in the second set. While the acoustic ending was novel (think summer '96), it does not translate particularly well on tape.
ETC: Listen for lots of hey-jamming - Caravan, Jim, Fee, Stash, Tweezer, and even screams of "hey" during Forbin's. The narration during Forbin's takes the audience into their own head, through their nose, into their stomach and heart. Fish takes a washboard solo during Nellie Kane and Trey remarks that Freebird is "the first time anyone ever" had played it (see similar comments on 8/11). Listen for the quick "12345" jam in Tweezer that is very similar to the jam in the previous night's Antelope.
