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.

Bag > Chalkdust was a very common pairing in this era, they started a show with it back in New York, only 2 shows prior, but, I can't complain, it's a great opener. Chalkdust shredded a little harder than Bag this time around, great energy. Energy continues with a standard Faulty Plan. Divided Sky is perfect, down to every last minute detail. Ya Mar is really fun, streaker energy, Mike still rages! Sneakin’ Sally is funky, great energy (this is going to be a common theme). After the vocal jam, it gets even more funky. Real nice. The Old Home Place is a great grass choice, now with an exclusive Charlottesville reference! > standard Cavern > the funk keeps going with Funky Bitch, a pretty great version, too. This Bowie is standard, but still really fuckin’ cool. I think The Wedge is one of the best songs to display Fish’s drumming, and this one is no exception. Bold As Love is a great way to end a set.
Tweezer generally remains in type 1 territory, but it’s still funky, awesome energy to start a set -> smooth as butter transition into Light. Trey dominates this jam for sure; around halfway through, he turns on his intergalactic communication device and sends audio signals into space, hoping to reach life beyond Earth. The last 4 minutes or so of this jam is pure alien noise. This Light is fuckin’ awesome, guys > Jumpin’ right into Piper, wasting no time. The energy here is great. Even though they don’t stray too far from the path on this one, this is very satisfying jam -> short but sweet Free. Mike struts his stuff. Sweet Virginia is a pretty good Stones cover. A nice cool down from the hype we experienced before. Harry Hood is pretty standard, but still a great time > Suzy is standard > the trio version of Golgi is pretty standard. Mike does some cool stuff in the second half to make up for losing the bass in the first. Run Like An Antelope is awesome, Mike and Trey are the kings of this jam. More streaker antics.
The encore is standard, with a standard Loving Cup (second Stones tune of the night) and Tweeprise.
All in all, this show is pretty awesome. I think it’s a great way to end the tour. Mike and Trey are just on it the entire time. A lot of ‘09 is pretty underrated. Check this one out!
