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 did not have the usual construction with the deep jams, but each song was pretty well played. I will grant that it was ballad-heavy, but what is so wrong with that as long as the band is playing well? I thought it was actually refreshing to stray from the formula a bit.
Also, I so much more prefer Winterqueen in this second set slot. What a beautiful song and there are great dynamics in the jam. Moreover, Trey is enjoying himself and shredding like a ninja.
Twenty Years Later was the high point of the set for me. I took a long time to warm to it (I actually thought it was a pretty bad song for a while), but it seems to be blossoming since the Reading show, revealing power hitherto unknown. Plus, it has a wonderful classic rock hook. It's also a bit of a rarity, so it was a treat.
With respect to Wading in the Velvet Sea... (and this is especially to the dumb f*cks who were booing) Trashing Velvet Sea was already old at Coventry, but Page's tears mean more to me than your "opinion" of what is great music or not. Velvet Sea is a heartfelt message and if you can't get it, you ought to probably find something else to do. "I've been waiting for this song to pee"... Really? REALLY? You're not special. You are not some connoisseur of epicurean vibe. You are just stupid.
