Temple of the Dog Performs 'War Pigs' – Live in San Francisco

Date: November 11, 2016

By November 11, 2016, Temple of the Dog was celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, which was originally released in 1991 as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood, the lead singer of Mother Love Bone. Their performance of "War Pigs" at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco showcases their enduring legacy and the strong bond among band members, particularly Chris Cornell and Soundgarden's members, who also featured in the lineup. The sold-out shows across five cities highlight the band's significant following and the nostalgia surrounding their music. Interestingly, the original album is notable for featuring future rock icons, and its reemergence through the anniversary tour marked a revival of interest in their influential sound, fusing elements of grunge and classic rock. The live performance further emphasizes the band's evolution and lasting impact within the rock genre.
