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.

You are entirely correct about Phish being only a rock and roll band. We however are not a "glorified fan club", merely a fan club. (Yes, I have a problem with an adult being a member of a rock and roll band fan club too, but since the band in question are 40 somethings too, I'm getting over it).
Yes, an "average typically great Phish show" at which we danced, were entertained, shared with friends, had a good maybe great time, as distinct from someone penning a critical (in the good sense) "review" where someone chooses to focus solely on the musical aspects of the performance, and compare it with some 1,500 other versions of performances stretching back over 20 years, all of which are accessible for taped replay at the click of a mouse.
I enjoyed and totally concur in J_D_G's reviews and many of the site team comments on this thread.
