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.
And to chime in on if it is possible to recap a show from a webcast I would say it certainly is. Sure your not gonna get the emotional responce from being at the show, which frankly I hate to read about in reviews, it should be about the music.
You might even be able to more objectivly review a show by just listening to the webcast on your couch and not getting caught up in the energy. Getting caught up in the energy of a crowd is not a bad thing of course but not very helpful for most reviews. It probably cuts down on the "best show evah!" factor.
