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.

2) Timber: Virtuosic soloing from Trey, spastic thrashing from Fishman, insistent bass line from Mike to guide the whole procession, and Page painting the funk landscape. Brief, but well-executed version with plenty of energy
3) The Curtain With: Debut for this special Phish song. Honestly, its nothing too different from later versions other than the finesse will improve with time. However, I am glad this is a "With" version for the debut. Gives it that extra tangy zip.
4) The Sloth: First, the sloth comes plodding out of nowhere from Halley's in a neat/abrupt transition. Second, this version has a different kind of swing to it. The tempo and groove are just different enough to make hearing this classic sound fresh. Cool version
5) LUOLMA > Skin It Back: The Light Up rocks out a bit towards the end, very enjoyable raging from the whole band, and then the transition to Skin It Back makes a wonderful combo. Unfortunately the tape cuts in the middle of Skin It back, but if what has happened so far in the second is any indication, I am very disappointed to not hear the rest of the set
