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.
In the past I have read the comments on my own recaps because I wanted to engage in the discussion about THE SHOW. When @FACTSAREUSELESS suggested that my dislike of the whammy pedal skewed my perspective of the show, I wanted to discuss that. That's a discussion of the show and my view on it. If you have a different take on THE SHOW, that's great. I would have loved to talk about it.
Good point. I'd like to get back to discussing the show too, if you're up to it at this point. I'm sorry for how this all turned out, I can appreciate you feeling a bit touchy.
Anyway, to support your assertions made in your review, I found it interesting that someone on livephish.com posted (who claims to be a musician) and explained that when Trey pitch-shifts, he often is playing in a different key than the rest of the band, creating unneccesary discord. He feels that Trey is an outstanding player and is actually playing quite well but that he is throwing off his bandmates and the audience by his constant deployment of the device.
I suppose there's a balance in all this. I still think that the show was better than you did, but thought you'd appreciate the feedback.
