I saw Jack play live about 3 years ago and picked memento mori. There is a hidden track on there with vocals by Eddie Vedder. It's a beautiful song that probably the most die hard Pearl Jam fans are unaware of. Edited July 19, 2006 by spanky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I've never seen a local group I liked as much as when I lived in Minnesota: Alva Star. Love them. If you ever get the chance, I would recommend seeing them. Very nice guys too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Cheap Trick I'm not a fan of many Chicago bands, though The Last Vegas is fairly decent from what I have heard out of them. I still need to get theirs though. The Gaza Strippers were O.K., but I carry a slight bias towards them. The Love Dictators will rule everything though once they get their heads together.
