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.
I would certainly agree that there was a Big 4 of 2014/15; I would not agree that the 4th one should be 1/3/15 (great though it is) over 10/28/14, which boasts one of this era's mightiest second sets and a pretty darn good 1st set on top. I also think that there are better full shows than 12/31/14, but it's very hard to argue against 12/31 II (Lord knows I don't enjoy arguing against it), and I also can't imagine how *any* of the Dick's shows should rate ahead of 7/20 (with the mighty Wedge/Ghost sequence) and 7/30 (which could very easily be in the top 6 or so of this list).
You know what's wild to me? I feel like a pretty hefty majority of .net readers would consider 2014 one of the 3 best (maybe 2 best) years of 3.0, and yet there is *so much* of 2014 that has just fallen by the wayside or doesn't get talked about. It's not hard to understand, given that MPP2/Halloween/Randall's3 have absolutely sucked up nearly all of the air in the room, but there's still a bevy of riches waiting out there that don't get talked about. The 7/29 CDT, 8/1's Tweezer -> (it's a -> , he said, stamping his feet impotently) Slave, 7/25's Fuego -> Twist -> Circus sequence, 7/5's Waves -> Carini, 10/29's Light -> Possum, 10/21's CDT -> Ghost, 8/29's 46 Days, etc., etc., etc.
