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 think your assessment is bang on actually. Having listened to many of your stellar recordings and knowing your wealth of Phish knowledge, I appreciate the views of someone who is not caught in the moment and candy coating the piss in our ears!
IMO, other than the easy mellow vibe in Bend with the fun introduction of some new tunes and old solo act tunes, some engaging moments in Shoreline, there is nothing much more to floss my teeth with from this tour. I'm not sure where the hi praise for The Forum show comes from - other than what the energy in the room probably was, the show is standard as standard gets.
As per the norm, there is always a show or set of shows where the band turns the corner on a tour - Clearly it was this set of 2 shows in ATL where the band really started to fire on all cylinders and open up the great musical conversation that is the essence of great Phish.
Lets hope they continue the momentum.
So what is the real story behind the Ocedoc disappearing since the 2012 NY Run and followup TAB shows.....???
For those of you who are calling him a jaded vet..... bwahahaha, when you've seen and heard as much Phish as @chillwig and some of us have, you're entitled to put things in perspective some times and offer up some solid, no bullshit thoughts.
