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.

One quality I appreciate about Phish in concert is their individual and collective resilience. Not only do their shows set a standard for how we perceive shows by other acts, but interviews with crew members (like Chris Kuroda) or collaborators emphasize their work ethic and professionalism. Trey sounds like he’s fighting a cold during this show (despite plenty of banter with the audience), and the show reviews indicate that the band and crew were also trying to work with the campus security officers who were dealing with noise complaints. The band responds with some very quiet playing during the second set, both in composed sections and jamming. It’s a nice contrast to the encore from 7/23/93, where Trey has to whisper to the rowdy crowd, asking them to quiet down. The preceding two-night stand in Hollywood was slightly disappointing, but Phish came back with a strong show on this night, loaded with fun and "Some fine dancing down in the pit there, some fine dancing!"
"Thanks a lot, uh, we're going to take an intermission here, a little break... don't go away, don't do anything we wouldn't do while we're gone, and you'll be safe. See you later..."
