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.
I also thought that Sunday Set 1 was one of the best 1st Sets I've ever had the pleasure of being in the building for out of the 70+ shows I've seen in the 3.0 era.
Set 1: The Landlady, Free > The Moma Dance > Seven Below > Prince Caspian > Backwards Down the Number Line, The Line, Scent of a Mule[1] > Saw It Again, Halfway to the Moon, The Birdwatcher, Frankenstein[2]
As I look at it, what is there to complain about? Frankenstein to end Set 1! Moma Dance> Seven Below was great. The Caspian might have paled next to MagnaBall but I certainly didn't care. One of the best and most fun Mule's I've ever witnessed. Saw It Again was on fire. And they finally showcased Halfway To The Moon, loved its perfect placement to my ears near the end of the set and felt it was the best version they ever done of it.
I'm basically a 3.0 newbie, having been a DeadHead, and love songs. Better when songs are jammed out but that shouldn't diminish the songs themselves. Not every song was meant to be jammed out so while I understand the love of the jam sometimes I feel like reviewers are too quick to shortchange 1st Sets because of the lack of jamming. A solid 1st Set is to my ears the foundation of a great show and both Friday and Sunday 1st Sets is what made my experience of the total show so enjoyable.
Peace,
