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.

Trey did some kind of bird signal with his hands between songs - was this because of the way the setlist reads "Fly Famous Mockingbird" then "Birds of a Feather" (like that tape of December '84 read "Fire on the Mountain" then Jimi Hendrix's "Fire")?
Pardon me, Doug - is this a picture of Otis Redding? Trey mentioned this was Fishman's first vacuum solo of the tour.
I knew "Middle of the Road" sounded familiar - it was from Mike's album "Clone" with Leo Kottke, which kept me company during the first hiatus. The "Character Zero" set closer reminded me of the Lake Placid fall tour opening show in '96 the day after "Billy Breathes" was released.
The "Down With Disease" jam included a "Reba" jam, which abruptly cut to "Wilson". Love the subtlety of "Slave to the Traffic Light". "Psycho Killer" was excellent - reminded me of seeing "Burning Down The House" in August '98 in Vernon, NY.
The loop that Trey and Fishman danced to sounded like a field recording of an African percussion ensemble...
