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.
On a side note, I think we are all partial to the era of the band in which we fell in love with them first. For me it's the 94-98 era was the peak. But a friend who tagged along to the recent shows with me is just getting into them and when they listen to some if my era's favorite tunes and shows, they are more partial to this years sound since this is the sound they fell in love with. It's a nostalgia thing and were all victim to it. That's why I think there are so many snobby phans who are so hyper critical to the newer set lists and length of songs. The band is clearly focused and wants to get better as a unit but we'll never hear the phish of old again because they are older now, more "clear headed" shall we say, so I don think we'll see many of those 30+ minute type 2 (substance infused) jams like in the old days. Just like most of us now. We should all be excited about the new phish because they want to evolve and show us all that we never know what to expect from them. If they never changed, I think we all would be asking for something new anyway. Great summer so far. See you in VEGAS bitches 😜
