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.
Why? Because it’s something I’ve never had the chance to be a part of for Phish before. I was honestly way more excited to see songs I’ve never seen (Friday was show 51 and the chances to see new things are getting quite slim save the newest stuff aka Kasvot, Ghosts, etc.) than epic jams. I said to myself “If there is at least one epic jam that makes me feel like 20 minutes is 5 minutes then I’m fine with that.” That’s what basically happened, and that’s what made me happy. Phish variety is what I live for nowadays with these four goofy nerds on stage. What drew me to this band was the unpredictability and variety every night. And sometimes there are jams and sometimes not. To me that’s what phish is honestly all about.
I danced harder Sunday than the other nights. I think it’s because there were more songs and more ups and downs all show and I dance/rage for songs and slow up a bit more for oddities and deep jams, and slow songs that hit me. Lots of emotion on Sunday. Lots. Lots of feelings too. That’s all good.
My first show was in this room in ‘95. It holds lots of meaning for me. Every time I’ve seen them here since, I think it’s my last time seeing them in Charleston. Any and all shows here are welcome. Yes Trey was a bit off a lot of the show. But they still played a lot and he still found his notes. I think breaking curfew 30 minutes two out of three nights is a great, great gift to the fans in attendance, because a free 30 more minutes of Phish in two of three shows is something you can’t beat. REGARDLESS OF SONG SELECTION. If you’re tired and tired of the songs then leave. I need more room for interpretive dance to Petrichor anyway.
Lastly, got my first Alumni Blues. I’ve always said that any show with that song can’t be bad. Can it? Maybe so, maybe not. I will say this: people were flipping lids and all smiles and pumped all night in there. Energy was a tad low overall from the crowd vs Friday and Saturday, but man people were pumped up for anything. Phish delivers for some and not all, but they dish it out all the same. Love all around in Charleston let’s do this all over again!
