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.

As for the show, the most amazing part I remember to this day is when Trey came out of his solo in Highway to Hell he used the mic stand as a slide, pushing the neck against the mic stand the whole length of the fretboard just as he started back into the chorus. I can still see this in my mind almost 35 years later.
Anyway, I don't really follow the band that much anymore, but my friends from those days still do. Not sure what I would do with my Master recordings from the show considering I seem to be the only person in the world with a recording of the first set.
I seem to remember there was someone else recording down on the main floor, but considering I know my recording cut out a few times for reasons explained, the linked show may be my recording. Some day I might get around to digitizing the first set, or giving my masters to someone who might be able to improve the quality if the linked recording is the one I did.
Anyway, I'm old now, 53, so I'm busy with lots of other stuff. Still, it seems like people would probably like to hear the first set since it's not available.
