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 just captures the vibe ...
For those of us who enjoy the vibe, I'll ask that you don't discount our opinions. It's not that I don't appreciate a T2 jam, I do. I also enjoyed the Bethel 2 Cities, it immediately went into my 2011 highlights playlist. So did NICU, and the encore ADITL. I didn't attend either show, and know that other people will have different opinions.
I don't need (or want) to read a show review that tells me nothing more than the setlist followed by a list of better versions. I want to know more about the environment, the feeling of the show. Yes, something more than "everyone enjoyed it", as that would be almost as meaningless as "not the best version ever".
I know that there are going to be versions that other people believe to be better versions. I have several playlists on my iPod which have been cobbled together from information I retrieved from the Phish.net forums, and the phish net Song Info page. I value phish.net for the info provided.
I would enjoy it more if the entire show experience was reviewed.
