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.

Things get rolling with a Buried Alive > Possum 1–2 punch. Possum features some secret language but no instructions, and Trey absolutely tears into it. Henrietta breaks out the vacuum during I Didn’t Know. Trey hits a few sour notes in Sky but quickly recovers and takes it home strong. There’s a tape flip following the Asse Festival section of Guelah, then it’s straight into Rift. Trey takes nice solo in Rift—good stuff. While this Antelope doesn’t quite reach the heights of the Creaturelope from Providence, it’s still a tight and fiery closer to set one.
A very enjoyable Jim opens the second half. Trey sends out a St. Patty’s Day greeting before launching into Glide. Poor Heart gets teased before they sneak through the back door into Sloth. A lively Poor Heart follows, complete with some funny banter about Cactus—“the man with the hair!” The SBD fades out as Tweezer begins, then returns with a strong audience patch. This is a thunderous Tweezer, pairing beautifully with Esther. Mike’s Groove may be pint-sized, but it hits hard. Fish introduces the whole band during Love You, along with his new toy, before a blazing Llama shuts down set two.
For the encore, Trey mentions, “this is a pretty big room but we’re gonna try this anyway,” before the band delivers lovely mic-less versions of Memories and Sweet Adeline. Both come through surprisingly well considering the setup. The taper didn’t even need to bump the levels.
