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 staff here takes pains to review the music and not the venue. Vegas isn't in the Northeast and you won't find a single person on the team who doesn't think Halloween set 2 was gold. Everyone here pretty much agrees that 12/31/14 II, 1/2/15 II, and 1/3/15 II were terrific as well. I think everyone who writes these recaps would much rather heap praise on a show than criticism.
But I'm just here to tell you that 1/1 sucked.
You can see it on the video. None of them brought their game and they struggled to figure out both what to play and how to play it. The smiles and laughs they trade at a good show were replaced by bewildered, deer-in-the-headlights looks. It was not a good night.
All that said, if it was your cup of tea, then you're better for it, and should in no way let me argue you off that position. There are shows I loved that other people hated over the years, and I like being the devil's advocate now and then.
