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.
It's not about song length, it's about quality. That being said, quality usually comes from patience with this band and these days, Trey has none whatsoever. When Phish jams once every 3 shows, people can't wait to say "See! They still jam!". But it's not about "Jamming". They need to relax and get that child's eye again (like Mike talks about in the IT dvd), that desire to find something new and different. It just seems that Trey can't stop thinking about what he wants to play next and all he wants to do is scream with his guitar.
I think 2010, when they were learning Waiting for Columbus, is the best Phish since they've been back because Trey was patient. Hearing Trey peak 3 minute solos for 10 set closers in a row is just boring. To each their own though.
