Temple of the Dog

On September 8, 1992, during a side stage performance at Lollapalooza, Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder delivered a powerful rendition of "Hunger Strike." This event occurred shortly after the self-titled debut album of Temple of the Dog was released on April 16, 1991. The band was formed as a tribute to Andrew Wood, lead singer of Mother Love Bone, and comprised members of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, making it a notable collaboration in the Seattle grunge scene. "Hunger Strike," one of the standout tracks from their album, features a haunting duet between Cornell and Vedder, showcasing their vocal chemistry. The live rendition at the festival also exemplified the rising profile of both artists, as Temple of the Dog was not only a one-off tribute project but also a significant milestone in the evolution of grunge music, bridging the gap between their respective bands and solidifying their legacies in rock history.
