 The second set was certainly a "shock" in that the song choices were not typical set 2 fare.  In the lot after the show, there was a general consensus that it was a very "set 1" set 2.  This got me thinking about how the band is trying new things with song choices - breaking the Set 1 and Set 2 mold rules that they themselves had settled into.  I think this has lead to some spectacular Set 1 this tour and tonight was certainly no exception.  At setbreak people were abuzz about it's hawt-ness.  I think Set 1's have more "permission" from us fans to break the mold as a lot of us maybe see that as the appetizer course before settling into a nice Set 2 meal.  When a Set 2 doesn't quite Set 2 in the way that we expect, I think we can tend to be disappointed, but as I listened to last nights Set 2 roll out, I thought "This is one of the reasons why I see Phish.  I WANT them to take risks and try new things.  This is exactly where I want to be right now".

 The Mockingbird Foundation
The Mockingbird FoundationThe 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.
