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.
It seems to me that Phish can often do more with 10 minutes in the 3.0 era than they ever could before -- thus many remarkable but relatively 'short' jams of sparkling diversity in recent years.
With this Tweeezer, they multiply that capacity exponentially over the entire length of the jam, creating an improvisational epic with distinct movements and brilliant innovation, rewarding repeat-listening (I'm now totally hooked, like everyone else).
I'd now like to offer a brief prayer for an Official Video.
...and ah, those moments around 10:30, and again at 19 minutes, when, instead of ripcord or warp-speed ahead, the band hovers in patient space, letting the music gestate and emerge in its fullness. Simply gorgeous.
