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.

These shows prove to me that Phish is about the MUSIC and the LIGHTING ONLY CK5 ENHANCES the band This screen DETRACTED from the band in most cases If the band would have went totally literal or LANDSCAPE REALISM ONLY this could have worked like in BOTT and in Prince Caspian and a few others but the moral of the story is do not do graphic design like that terrible Bathtub Gin which looked childish immature and neon pastel AWFUL They turned 1 of my favorite Jam vehicles into a train wreck w that background And the bottom line is ....listen to a show w not being able to know what Page and his new shirt look like ...no CK5 amazing accompaniment lighting and if it is still a 4.5 show ...ok....THEN and only then show me the VISUALS but the music comes first The Visuals almost always take a backseat except in the Whale and Dolphins on Earth Day and the NYE Gag songs because they were NOT screens they were REAL LIFE enhancement like Midgets in Golf Carts to Tweezer Reprise THAT was hilarious and made the song ever better Soul Planet a good song not great everyone hates on it like they will hate on this review but I am right and you fools are wrong .....for the most part (those 4 dudes anyways that gave me a negative point for just being honest real and curious-makes me want to in my immaturity do what Jay and Silent Bob did at the end of Strike Back...and look past your VPN and figure out your punk ass 4 addresses and strike back and kick your phony asses) But I regress and breathe deep and say I for one am glad I did not go to Vegas Yes it was miles better than 2004 the worst 3 Phish shows but to compare that is NOT SAYING MUCH Trey is sober so it better be better than that Jay-Z Girlsx3 idiocy w the flu and a hangover
Trey says he wants to come back definitively and that is cool and all but only if he starts to take things a bit more seriously and more literal These shows just the tapers are terrible and that speaks volumes to me....The Tweezer sounded good and that was about it the last 3 nights to me
Community SHMOONITY Phish fans would turn on you in a second come the apocalypse and end of the world Hippies pretend to be nice until they need water and protein and become the ravenous secret wolves underneath the sheep kind sexual freedom exterior ...when the wooks and Howling wolves reveal themselves as the clowns Guyute pigs and Slaves to sin they really are (watch Zombieland 2 that is real Hippy living in OBLIVION AWAITS) When they NEED to eat humans to survive and not just WANT and desire NO2 shrooms acid and weed to survive in their entitled universe lets see who puts the 666 on their forehead or right arm because it will not be me but it will be those fools giving me a -4 rating We can love Phish and hate the community of lazy people (btw Big Lebowski is one of my favorite films before you put me in another category box) I am also a Republican who hates and will not be voting for Trump or Biden
Trey had my hopes up in the CBS interview saying this would be epic but also said Mondegreen festival will....I believed him until I witnessed the Torn and Frayed (bag of nerves on first and second and third nights but especially third) I still want to believe the band is just at the cusp of greater music because 2023 especially the Alpharetta and MSG shows both in the summer and NYE were AMAZING except for the usually great 12-30 which was strangely terrible and made no sense 12-28 actually got the ju ju juice this past year and of course 12-31 w the Gamehendge surprise because usually the NYE show ITSELF sucks compared to 12-29 and 30 but they flipped the book to the book ends and not the MEAT of the book this last year And then Mexico on that I agree TOTALLY w Trey in the CBS interview where he said Mexico was their best run ever and I would not go that far but it was the best Mexico run ever 2017-2023 so 6 i think w Covid so not 7 if memory serves and the first show warmup was even pretty good for just one set That Alaska was BLUES royalty and then it just went into the unexpected stratosphere unlike these 4 shows I sure hope tomorrow is good because these 4 were underwhelming and the visuals looked really cheesy childish immature and silly in most songs w a few exceptions You know im right Look at Bathtub Gin and tell me that sounded good let alone the shitty visuals? This may have been Fire is in the AIR night but this show was anything but FIRE or Energetic AIR
