Phish.net, and the Mockingbird Foundation

phish.net · mbird.org

The setlists are theirs: what was played, in what order, what ran into what, at which venue, on which tour. So are the gaps and the show ratings, and the jam chart notes under a performance.

Phish.net is a project of the Mockingbird Foundation, a 501(c)(3) started in 1996 by fans and run entirely by volunteers — no salaries, no paid staff, no office. Hundreds of people have kept that record night after night for close to thirty years, which the Foundation conservatively estimates at over 100,000 hours. It is an extraordinary thing to have been given.

And it is a means rather than an end. The Foundation exists to fund music education for children, and by July 2026 had made its 800th grant, more than $3 million in total. If this site has been of any use to you, that is a good place to send something.

phish.in

phish.in

Every Listen link goes to phish.in, an open archive of audience recordings made under the band’s own taping policy. Their archive covers 2,143 nights. Because of them, a page about a performance can be a way to hear it.

The recordings themselves are the tapers’, made at their own expense and given away, and phish.in is where forty years of that generosity is kept in one place and kept free.

The version scores are fouldomain’s: every circulating performance rated out of 100 from a blend of audio analysis and community signal, recomputed nightly. It is also how phish.net’s own show rating reaches this site, since their API does not expose it.

It is one person’s work — Kevin Spence, building on phish.net’s setlists and phish.in’s audio — and it is the reason a song page here can point you at a version worth hearing rather than just counting the times it was played.

And the band

This site is not affiliated with Phish and not endorsed by them. The taping policy is theirs, though, and it is a generous and unusual one: forty years of live music recorded, traded and given away with permission. Every archive on this page rests on it.
