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.
But Chris G's point is well-taken that, nowadays, with so little to differentiate between first sets (other than technical execution of compositions, an element with which many fans are not very concerned), it's very difficult to have a substantive argument about the merits of a particularly good Type I jam versus the perceived historical importance of some breakout.
What would be even more helpful for me is simply a list of the best jams of the tour.
