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.

They kick things off with a Landlady > Jim combo that sets a great tone early. There’s a cool little All Things tease at the start of Foam and a strong jam in Stash. Fluffhead is inspired, unfortunately there’s a tape flip. NICU features a cool little jam that leads nicely into a tight, albeit straightforward, Bowie closer.
Set two opens with Trey wishing Amy from Florida a happy birthday before asking if Jimmy Herring is still in the house. He jokes that they’re about to play “variations on a theme by Jimmy Herring, also known as Buried Alive.” Suzy is lively, and a solid Brother leads into the first TMWSIY > Avenu > TMWSIY of the tour. A smokin’ Possum wraps up the set, complete with two “Ah fuck!” signals when Fish forgets to stop playing for the first one.
Fish’s voice goes full Peter Brady during his part in Sleeping Monkey, which cracks everyone up. The walk-out music after the first encore is The Stars and Stripes Forever by the Czechoslovak Brass Orchestra and Rudolf Urbanec. Encore two brings a rippin’ Chalk Dust, and encore three a fun Harpua. Trey takes the crowd to the “jungles of Brazil” while Fish quotes the musical Brazil. There’s a quick Fire tease as Jimmy is introduced, and before Page’s organ solo, Trey calls him “a beacon of light in the world of flight” — the second nod to Clifford Ball in as many days.
