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.

The second set starts with an exciting rendition of Rock & Roll that doesn't go Gorge deep but provides an energetic opening to one of the most compulsively listenable sequences of 3.0. Then the band starts going into what might be C&P, but the jam then morphs into a surprise Come Together, and while the version is rickety and obviously unrehearsed, it's still a cool surprise. Come Together makes a surprisingly natural segue into Twist, which is a fine version if not spectacular (although the Low Rider callback is inspired), but segues wonderfully into a Piper that IS spectacular and includes a really interesting mid-set jam that sounds like a pre-written song, it's so naturally created by the band, before getting ugly and (as @waxbanks noted) storage-y at the end, modulating tempo between sludgy, slow weirdness and fast-paced crazed weirdness, Page's theremin swirling around everything like a mischievous ghost. That's the first half of the set, and it's a hell of a first half.
Then comes a marvelous (mid-set!) Hood, the peak all the more gorgeous by dint of being mid-set, and a slow, sweet Roggae to give everyone a moment to relax, before the last big jam of the night. And that big jam is a glorious Ghost, which dips slightly in intensity before blooming big and bright and immediately heading for Guy Forget, which is played with rocket-powered intensity, then slides neatly back into Ghost for one last burst of rock. WOTC and #L are just fine closers.
What else can I say about this show? It's a true classic, with a strong first set and an absolute celebration of a second set. Just wonderful.
