Temple of the Dog, a Seattle-based supergroup formed in 1990, released their self-titled debut album in April 1991. This recording, titled "Hunger Strike," featured prominently in their live performance at Alpine Valley on September 4, 2011, during the PJ20 festival celebrating Pearl Jam's 20th anniversary. By this time, the band was not actively recording new music, but the 2011 performance highlighted their enduring influence and the collaboration between members Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder. The live rendition of "Hunger Strike" served as a nostalgic reminder of the album's raw emotional power and the profound context in which it was created. It also marked a special reunion of the project that had initially stemmed from the loss of their friend Andrew Wood, showcasing the tight-knit bonds of the grunge era and the ongoing legacy of their music.
