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.
And I'm going to go out on a limb and proclaim a 6 minute 2013 Tube slaps around the mildly jammy late 90s/0xy versions, Dayton and Salt Lake and Hershey among others are clearly on another planet of course.
Gumbo 23 of 88 jammed. Halleys 23 of 102. Cities over 10 minutes 8 of 72 times.. But
12/28/11 and 8/6/10, easily the two best versions outside of the Went and Deer Creek 97
Are an average of 10:30 which is an insanely potent reminder of the power of 3.0s improv.
I made a list of songs that had gone yard more often than Roses and it was interesting. If I had an adderall prescription and didnt have a daughter I'd probably write 10,000 words about why people always point out Roses wasnt jammed but never point out that Number Line or Fee or KDF or Chalkdust or Suzy or Ya Mar or BOTT or Mango or a double handful of others weren't.
Gumbo, Halleys, Tube, Roses and AC/DC Bag are like the pistons of a veteran frustration generation engine. I feel like 3-4 of those came in clumps at points in 3.0 and it was always funny.
I'm of the mind that I'd rather hear all new and different songs get jammed out and leave these in the past, of course I'd rather hear them jammed than nothing jammed.. But there's a solid 30 songs that aren't thought of as jam songs which feel more pregnant with possibility these days.
