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.
First off, I can't believe no one could find the 7/25/99 Birds. It was during one of my personal favorite years and weeks of Phish. The hint of course would have been that it was during the last show that Phish covered the Allman Bros Band with the huge Whipping Post out of My Left Toe. Fare thee well Greg Allman.
On a weird sidenote, I attended the shows before this one (Alpine Valley with the HUGE Fluffhead jam) and after. I must have had a weird work schedule or something. As an above poster mentioned, it was arguably the best show of the summer.
I started doing MJM's back in 2012 or so after being a big tape trader back in the day and had Mondays off. I won five quickly and really didn't care after that until I learned of the "Emeritus Status" late last year. I absolutely loved the multi-clip format after that. You have no idea how close I was on some of those!!
I have to thank @uctweezer and all the other contributors to MJM for this. For everyone else, as mentioned above, even if you don't win, you end up listening to a lot of great shows and jams you might not normally know. It's a good thing.
So thanks everone. I will still keep on eye on MJM and make comments here and there. Don't forget to donate to the Mockingbird Foundation everyone!
Take care all and pm if you're going to the Chicago shows!
