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.
That said, what it definitely was not, especially relative to this tour, was unique, or tight. I happen to love the current jamming style to which they most often turn. It has a flow and balance and warmth to it, with major key hose at the ready and liberally deployed. I've been thinking how it is more, for lack of a better term coming to mind immediately, "feminine," very "Hood" jam like, a point that I offer as an unqualified positive. They turn to it... often! The power hour from Shoreline, Dallas CDT, Atl2 Tweezer, all over everything from Blossom's spectacular second set.
Where you'd look for "unique" jamming in this tour would IMO be to something like the Nashville Weekapaug. That's dark space that doesn't get nearly the attention of what I view as the same general target range that last night's Disease and Twist occupy.
Anyway, I don't often like to comment here because I bloviate sufficiently in the recaps themselves and like to leave this space to everyone else, but that comment struck me as not aligned with what actually took place.
Cheers.
