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.
and, conversely, i have been to shows where i remember being enamored by a jam and then on second, third, etc listen, realize it doesn't stack up to others. but that's the beauty (IMO) of being at the show. in the moment. on some level, the "as it's happening-ness" of a live show allows you to lose yourself in the music for a time, and not need to think of how it stacks up against other renditions.
