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.

MSO and Ha Ha Ha are a pretty interesting pair to open Set II. The ensuing Bowie never *completely* loses its identity as did some of the later, greater '94 versions, but it definitely features some great improvisation, including an earworm descending theme around minute 14. From here on out, there's a lot more deviation and rhythmic play akin to some summer '93 jamming. Less melodic intrigue, and more emphasis on the bizarre. When the band finds itself back on the Bowie tracks, the spirit of '95 shines through with fantastic energy. The middle of Set II keeps things cool with a sweet Theme and Mule. Final highlight worth listening to is a stellar Slave finale. This one, like 7/4/99, is notable for it's more laidback tempo and gradual swell. Milked and drawn out, the jam stirs emotion as Fishman treats the repeating A-G-D-E harmony as a canvas upon which to splatter his fueling drum fills. It seems to go on forever...only until it doesn't. Trey is soaring by the end.
Great show from a great tour.
