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.
That said, the guitar lines in this song/section are intentionally loose in places and there were a couple of "surprise" notes that actually sounded kinda cool. One of my favorite things that I've learned from Phish and that's been reinforced in my playing through the years is that when mistakes inevitably happen, the *absolute* best thing you can do is to smile and laugh it off. And they routinely do.
Some of my favorite Phish moments through the years have been shows (presumably like this one) where band gaffes got them laughing and shenanigans ensue! And that's a big reason they are so widely popular, that shows can be fun and memorable even when the band is not totally locked in musically and living up to the insanely high bar that they've set for themselves.
