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.
Fear of Music is one of the best records going. One thing Heads' purists always pointed to when hearing Phish cover the band was tempo.
It was like: That song's not supposed slow, they're doing that on purpose?
I love the 00 Cities from Japan. I think it's under ten minutes, but it's really, really chill - enough, in my opinion, to offset the discrepancy between their take and the 'real' version.
And then there are the big rides.
This probably won't be a popular opinion, but I didn't particularly care for this version. Tack the jamming onto anything, and it's rather pedestrian. Since the band has there groove going, I'd like to seem them give this tune the album treatment. Fish and Gordon are up for it.
Trey would have to do something with his into. Like going into Roses, it's just this series of 'power' chords that sound inferior to so much of the new work (Scabbard, NMINML) he's producing. This Cities was cool, but it was sort of in-between in terms of how it could be played / interpreted. Hearing NMINML, I'd love to see the band give it full-on disco treatment.
I believe this was noted elsewhere. Trey's voice - which I think sounds great - is often turned way up (at least it comes across this way at certain points/venues).
