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.
Best dwd since 2003...I wanna say since 12/31/99 - 1/1/00, but I won't go there yet (btw, that's an underrated dwd).
I am also definitely hearing myself listening to this jam another couple thousand times in 2015.
Phew!
A+

Now who do I need to call about getting the green treatment for 12/29/13?
Most of the Japan shows, regardless of high or lower ratings, have at least one highlight, but this show (I think in the 3.5-ish range) has this amazing show opener, and a roaring Piper in the same vain (though a bit more "rocking" . That's enough for me to give this show a solid 4. But seriously, this Disease is worth it.
Highly recommended for anyone who's into the patient jamming of late '90's-'00's.

As I’m liable to drone on for longer than it would take to listen to this twenty-minute masterpiece, here’s a list of its highlights:
• From the start of the jam section until about ten minutes in, this is Trey’s song, to do with as he pleases. Absolute filth pours out from his Languedoc. Check out around the 6:32 to 7:00 mark for a representative piece.
• Page stakes a claim in determining this jam’s direction at around 10:25 in. Over the next minute or so, the band does a masterful job of plotting a descent course from where they started. Seatbelts are optional – this is a turbulence-free ride.
• Trey’s lick at 11:55 is gorgeous, with another to come at 12:45. In between, all four members create a huge amount of space to build on top of.
• The next few minutes showcases what I love about this jam – the band’s ability to compose on the fly. While they explore a few different thematic directions, they simultaneously start locking into a tighter groove.
• Fishman’s fill at around 14:41 is rhythmically echoed by Page at 14:52, followed immediately by Trey landing onto the jam’s final theme.
• An absolutely inspired riff by Trey at 15:48, which has given me instant goose bumps each of the approximately five billion times I’ve listened to this. The theme continues until about the 17:24 mark, at which point it stops on a dime. A very unique ending to a very uniq—
• Never mind! Twenty-eight seconds later, we’re right back into where they stopped. They build it back up over the next two minutes, smoothly transition into a fiery “Maze”.
If you couldn’t tell, I’m a fan of this “Disease”.
I liked Phish but I had no idea at the time what a long and strange trip it would be.
I remember clearly feeling like I was walking in early only to hear the beginning of that blistering Llama as I got in the venue.
The stage was like nothing I've ever seen before looking like a broken fish tank. Fish swimming over the band and a giant glitter belching clam.. Being a Zappa fan The peaches en regalia made my jaw hit the floor. But that DWD tho .. That bassline was so thick and round, pure joy
I love listening to this show as I feel it was a turning point for the boys
Here's to another 30 years
