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.
Having just listened to the spectacular R&R > Ghost from last year's show in Charlotte (8/17/11), I had high hopes when they started the second set with it tonight. But, alas, it would not compare. Tonight's show - while certainly well-played throughout - was, in a word, tantalizing. Having brought so many songs capable of producing extended improvisation, I'd have thought that at least one would have fully made it out of the gate if not lapped the whole track. I'm not disappointed at all. Just left a little unsatisfied, is all.
Regardless, tonight's outing certainly increases the intrigue of the next few shows. Will lengthier jams and sweet-ass segues be incorporated into the Atlanta and Charlotte performances? We'll see. One thing's for certain: Phish has an uncanny ability to keep us all guessing, a skill they've nearly perfected this tour.
See you all in Charlotte!
