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.
"Buried Alive" opener, smoking "Wolfman's," "Wedge," "Gin" and "Gumbo" with a number of standard though energetic renditions of great danceable songs in between, plus a cool-down with "Yarmouth" and "Fee" -- I thought Set I was a blast. Mound! It felt to me like a makeup for the uneven 1st of Night 1, the band shifting to Dick's party time mode.
I think you've called the Set II highlights, but agree with @funkbeard: "Surprises me how musically dense the improvisation has become of late. Light and Tweezer accomplish so much in very little time." Cooling down with "Joy" carried some of the emotional resonance of "Free" forward, not bad placement IMO. All in all, an immensely enjoyable show with a few standouts. On to Night 3!
