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.

The Twist jam does kind of meander from minutes 8-13. I quite like the initial stuff right out of Twist that Mike is leading, but is gets less interesting. When Mike and Fish lay down this almost Middle Eastern vibe just before 14 minutes and Page starts prancing on top of it though. Holy hell. The build from that point to finale is some top-shelf stuff. Maybe not as amazing as I thought listening the time, but still great. (I still think the Blossom Cheezer is the tour highlight).
This isn't new though. They used to do this all the time! They talk about it explicitly on the IT DVD, maybe it's Page. Sometimes you have to mess around for a while to get to the sick stuff. The 90s were full of it.
I also loved the Bathtub Gin jam. It was a lot more interesting than most Gin's have been in recent years.
