In the setlists at Phish.net, the show notes that appear beneath each setlist only describe characteristics of a show that deviate from the norm. For example, it is not mentioned in any of the setlist notes that "Carolina" or "Hello My Baby" was performed a cappella, because these songs are always performed that way. Similarly, we never mention that a show's "vibe" was "amazing," because this is often always the case. It also also never noted when versions of "Foreplay/Longtime" are performed acoustic, because almost all versions of this song have been performed in that manner. Instead, important characteristics of a performance, including a specific song's performance, are noted. For example, the Great Woods 1999 show notes mention that the song "Foreplay/Longtime" was played electric at the show. Also, unless otherwise mentioned in the show notes, every version of "Guelah Papyrus" contains "The Asse Festival;" every version of "Punch You in the Eye" contains "The Landlady;" and every "Alumni Blues" contains "Letter to Jimmy Page." To list these songs as, for instance, "Guelah Papyrus" -> "The Asse Festival" -> "Guelah Papyrus" in every single performance in the setlists file is redundant. More detailed information regarding such songs is contained for each song in the song histories on Phish.Net.

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.
