Temple of the Dog

On November 13, 1990, Temple of the Dog performed a live recording at the Off Ramp Cafe in Seattle, a pivotal moment in their brief but impactful career. The band's self-titled debut album, "Temple of the Dog," was released just a few weeks prior, on April 16, 1991, establishing their presence in the rock scene. Formed as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood, frontman of Mother Love Bone, the project featured members from Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, highlighting a significant moment of collaboration in the early '90s Seattle music scene. The live recording showcases key tracks from the album, including "Hunger Strike" and "Say Hello to Heaven," underscoring both their raw talent and emotional depth. Interesting to note, the album eventually received critical acclaim and commercial success, becoming a cornerstone of grunge music, but at the time of this performance, the band was still building their legacy, drawing from the shared experiences of its members.
