Eastside Memories was recorded by three native eastsiders who have been involved in the local music scene from the late 1960s to the present. The tunes on the CD were written by Gary Brewer, who began drumming in eastside garage bands at age 14 in the late 1960s. Guitarist K Town has played professionally throughout the 70s and 80s but currently works full-time. Bassist Jackie Jacobsen played in nightclubs for a number of years starting in the 1960s. In the 1980s the three of them began informal recording sessions in K Town’s basement, located just a mile from the now demolished Al Greens.

In 1997, Gary Brewer learned that Al Greens was to be paved over to make way for a car dealership, so he took one last trip to the drive-in, with video camera in hand. He toured the entire building, including the mysterious basement tunnels, capturing a uniquely rare snapshot of this legendary restaurant in its final hour. He also spoke with the demolition man, who described the vast amount of broken equipment, trash, and memorabilia he hauled away in his dumpsters. That video was the inspiration for the Al Greens website.
