The Aladdin has a bit of a community playhouse vibe in that it's quite small, but the crowd was relatively light on this summer week day night in SE Portland. I remember walking in and down the aisle directly to the front row in front of Page. He was positioned front center, almost protruding off the front lip of the stage. The set seemed a little on the shorter side, but I can remember getting goosebumps when I saw the road cases with the "PHISH" logo spray-painted on them, and thought how easy it would be for them to get back together since they still had all the gear labelled! The encore was the highlight for me, with Page solo on the baby grand for Strange Design, and the whole band returning for one of his instrumental masterpieces in CTB. A fun show, and an idiosyncratic experience with Page solo like that.

This was Page's only solo foray into Portland, and the only time he has been with one of his side projects to the Pacific Northwest at all. A solid date - 7/11, right in the middle of the breakup. Aladdin Theater is still kicking well in 2025, when this review was written. Obviously cool to see a Memories Can't Wait on the setlist in any context.

There are a few imperfections in the listed setlist and I have submitted a ticket to Phish.net for a fix. The first 5 songs should be: Heavy Rotation, Close to Home, Maid Marian, Everyone But Me, and Final Flight. They do not repeat songs multiple times in this show.
