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.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, JDG. This review strikes me as a little over-analytical, with too much attention given to the "placement" and "specialness" (or lack thereof) of various songs, but I do appreciate seeing some thoughtful, informed criticism in a recap.
And while anyone's review of a show is generally welcome, on the blog and elsewhere, I think that the RECAPs are best when they're written by someone who was in attendance. As others have said, the energy of the evening is a major part of the magic, and does often influence the music. It's a feedback loop. Beautiful thing.
Also, I like Prince Caspian. Perhaps its not always well-placed, but I really don't understand phans' antagonism toward that song...
