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.
this rock and roll takes you on a journey from rock> ambient trance> and back. it perfectly represents what phish was trying to accomplish in '99. personally, my favorite song of the night
The upbeat jam near the end is a nice Confucian-like contrast to the aforementioned section. Phish has a way of being able to change the mood of a jam before you even realize what's happening, and I think this Rock n' Roll is a great example of that.
We have the best of both worlds: an absolutely punishing, face-melting hard rock section complete with ska-like chords and enough cowbell to make Christopher Walken proud. The band then seamlessly transitions to an ethereal, hypnotic soundscape that transports you into a time warp that drops you off into a Japanese tea garden from another dimension. The "high quality" groove that follows slowly lands the musical space ship down to earth and is just the icing on the cake to this improvisational monolith.
Check this jam out, you will NOT be disappointed, especially if you wish Phish played every show like Fukuoka.
