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.
7-17-03 opener was Chalkdust. 7-17-03 second set opener was Tweezer, with the reprise to finish the show. When they opened with Chalkdust, i laughed out loud and said "does anyone else think they're f*ing with everyone?" Being that KC is really in the middle of the states, this is their 3rd performance since 2000 in KC, so I was wondering...do they know they opened with Chalkdust 9 years ago? And if not, would Phish care if someone said "hey, you guys opened with that 9 years ago?" Would their answer be "oh really?" Or would they just smile and say "so what?" Just something to ponder. I wasn't complaining, by any means. I was just wondering if that shed any light on to why they chose the songs they did.
My highlight of the show was how much my wife enjoyed it. This was my 27th show, and while I consider it a safe setlist, songs like Piper, BRTR, and If I Could really made her smile. So thanks to Phish for playing in KC again. I've known the fans of KC to be morons at times, so I wasn't suprised to hear the groans during Kill Devil Falls or Loving Cup (let them be, I say). In fact, on a side note, Pearl Jam played in 1998 and didn't even Encore, b/c the crowd was so bad, which is something I'll never forget. But I digress.
As for the review, I liked the critique on the setlist flow. I also was a bit lost in the flow at times. But the venue is just gorgeous. It's like you're floating on a cloud castle, the weather was perfect, and my group had a blast. I know all my phamily will be at the Dicks' shows over Labor Day, so I hope they bring it again! I will be at the DSO Jubilee in Ohio, so my 28th, 29th, and 30th will have to be somewhere else. > .<
Much love to .net for all you do, and to all of us for keeping it alive!! <3
