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.
I'm thinking that if you ask people to name their top 5 lifetime Phish experiences, I'm pretty sure that *phans creating our own light show with glow sticks while CK5 took a break at the end of an epic set where the Trey talked about the symbiotic energy between band and audience* is going to get mentioned.
I guess I could understand devaluing 8/17 a bit if you weren't there, but I'm presuming that the majority of the Phish.net team was in attendance. It's also the 4th highest rated show of the band's entire career on this here site, but somehow it ended up as only the 13th best show of 1997? That's a hose job for a show that offers some of the purest grade HOSE I've ever experienced.
