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.
Some highlights that come to mind from the Gorge:
8/2/97 - A first set with endless Ghost, Dvidided, type II Wolfman's, and Melt. Disease-> Tweeze-> Disease-> Johnny B and that Hood encore.
8/3/97 - Gin warms up for Foam, Samson Variation is the only version of that to be played in the states. Set 2 is highlighted by one amazing Taste, with Trey playing faster than usual, till Mike and Page drop out for a bit. Really great version in the best year for that song.
7/16/98 - I haven't really heard this one that much. Nothing to add.
7/17/98 - Nothing more to be said that wasn't stated.
9/10/99 - The peak of Divided Sky hits a wave and explodes with energy at the conclusion. The Bowie is extended.
9/11/99 - Some of the best energy I ever witnessed at a Phish show. First set was a real powerhouse, with the best PYITE, Billy Breathes and Guyute I'd ever have the pleasure to see/hear. Massive Free to close the set. Second set had another amazing type II Wolfman's into a drawn out debut of Sand, with Trey playing Jedi straight from the core of his soul. This set, while not boasting the most interesting song list, has some of my favorite textured jamming Phish have ever produced. I even love the Caspian for the richness of the music, even with its massive Fishman flub at the end.
2003 - Two day run includes my favorite Maze ever done. Most other highlights are mentioned above.
The 3.0 shows speak for themselves, and I've nothing to add to what's already there. Both Antelopes are well worth your time.
