SET 1: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Rift, Stash, The Squirming Coil, Sparkle, It's Ice -> Purple Rain > Hold Your Head Up, You Enjoy Myself[1]
This single-set performance was part of the H.O.R.D.E. Festival that also featured Allgood, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Blues Traveler, The Samples, and Widespread Panic. Fish played Split Open and Melt at the start of Rift. YEM was unfinished and featured Chan Kinchla and John Popper among other guests (including Jimmy Herring, Matt Mundy, Todd Park Mohr, and other members of ARU and Big Head Todd). Popper was offstage playing the harmonica while an effigy of Popper was lowered to the stage in a wheelchair. As part of the gag, the cord snapped and sent the effigy tumbling to the stage through the trampoline!

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 just about $1,500,000 to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.

One other factoid, that evening, Corin Capshaw who was a lesser known music producer who owned (or maybe just managed) the Flood Zone in downtown Richmond had flyers circulated in the parking lot re: a post show concert featuring The Dave Matthews Band. Mind you, this is when they hadn't released an album, when they still occasionally had a piano player in the band (Peter Griesar, who quit the band a few months later) and after hitching a ride to the venue, I there was amongst small attendance...probably 50-75 people. Among them was Mike Gordon who stayed upstairs in a area that was held for Corin and his friends/crew. Oteil Burbage from the Aquarium Rescue Unit joined DMB on stage, and played a memorable version of #42. While I've had little to no interest in the DMB since '95 when the music started to slide downhill, that song from that show is as good as I ever heard them improvise. As for Phish's performance, again, it was memorable because it was unique in it's format, not because of the song selection or performance.
