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.

Landlady kicks things off with plenty of energy. Trey drops a Mrs. Pizza Shit quote in Wilson before the blap boom section. Fluffhead is well played, and Foam feels like it has a little extra spring in its step. There are a few shaky spots, but overall it’s a strong version. Stash features the first audience clap response that I’ve noticed, with a decent jam section to boot. Mike shows off an interesting tone in Ya Mar that I haven’t heard before, and Cavern makes for an inspired closer to set one.
Tube opens set two and rolls into MSO, with Trey again quoting Mrs. Pizza Shit. A lively Gin follows, after which Fish informs the crowd that Phish is no more and that the last song was performed by Mrs. Pizza Shit. Trey cracks jokes at Fish’s expense while he talks. Brother keeps the momentum going, also featuring a Mrs. Pizza Shit reference. Sadly, the banter between Brother and YEM is completely missing from Relisten’s source.
YEM itself is an absolute groove-fest, highlighted by a fun Brady Bunch tease from Mike. The VJ contains more Mrs. Pizza Shit quotes and a William Tell Overture tease, though the ending is cut on the Relisten version — unsure if the original source is complete. Horn brings things down nicely, before a ripping Chalk Dust reignites the room. The HYHU intro is inspired, with Trey teasing Sanity but noting Fish doesn’t know the words. Terrapin and its vac solo are great fun. In Llama, Trey announces “The Master of Restraint” for Page’s solo, and Mike’s bass finally punches in, prompting the band to stop for a little Cactus solo. A solid closer for the second set.
Paul plays some Bela Fleck & the Flecktones as walkout music after a Glide/Rocky Top encore. Strong show from start to finish.
