Temple of the Dog

Temple of the Dog, formed in 1990 as a tribute to Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone, released their self-titled debut album in 1991. By the time of their live reunion show at Alpine Valley on September 3, 2011, the band had been inactive for years, with their original album finding a renewed audience over the decades due to the rise of related groups like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. The concert was significant as it coincided with the 20th anniversary of Pearl Jam, allowing for a celebration of their shared history. Notably, members Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder, who had been influential figures in the Seattle sound, performed hits such as "Hunger Strike" and "Say Hello to Heaven." This revival was a rare opportunity for fans, given that the band had limited live performances post the 1990s, highlighting their impact during the grunge era as a supergroup with deep emotional roots in Seattle's musical landscape.
