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.
Agree with others above that a wider range of rating options would help differentiate things better. Whether its 1-10 scale or 1-5 with half-point increments. This would help break up some of that log jam of shows all clustered around the 4.0 mark. Will help to better sort out the truly-great from the average-great shows.
Also would be way more complicated and not sure how it would work but would be interesting to see how things skew based on how raters consume the shows: live in person, coach tour w/ video stream, LivePhish/SiriusXM soundboard, or audience recording. With attendance bias, would a show that got a 4.5 based on live in person voters be as "good" as a show that got a 4.5 from people experiencing just the soundboard audio?
