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.
While your ability to beautifully capture the music was top notch, what impressed me most was your ability to describe the behemoth light rig ala the “gigantic Lite Brite board which cycled through looking like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, to the inner workings of a 1980’s paperweight like you’d buy at The Sharper Image, to repetitive starbursts of white light during the most Kraftwerk-ian bits of the jam.” F’in A! Pure nails.
Kuroda earned his CK5 badge keeping the entire crowd energized, mesmerized and hypnotized even when we were trying to determine the philosophy behind some of the set one song choices. He might have single-handed it been responsible for that raucous crowd cresecendo that transpired during 2001!!
I am torn wondering whether I would rather Saturday nights show knowing I probably saw an all time (for now) version of a song, or Friday’s sonic brilliance of elevating multiple tracks with some seamless cohesion. A quandary for sure.
Thanks @dmg924 for putting into words what was floating around in mind.
