Mike McCready has long been a Hendrix nut: as a boy, he listened to his dad’s copy of Band of Gypsys,* and Jeff Ament used to bump into him at Seattle parties, pre-Pearl Jam, playing Hendrix (and Stevie Ray Vaughan) riffs aplenty. More recently, he’s often slipped some of ‘Little Wing’ into the middle of ‘Yellow Ledbetter’ at the end of Pearl Jam sets.
