Temple of the Dog

Temple of the Dog, formed in 1990 as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone, was at a pivotal moment in their career during the live recording of "Hunger Strike" on September 13, 1992. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their self-titled album, which debuted in April 1991. The band, featuring members from both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, was in the midst of gaining significant momentum, characterized by the blending of grunge and alternative rock that defined the era. "Hunger Strike" is one of their most iconic tracks, showcasing the powerful vocal interplay between Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder. The recording serves as a testament to the band's unique collaboration and the burgeoning Seattle music scene. Interestingly, despite Temple of the Dog's short existence, their impact has endured, leading to a resurgence in interest, particularly with live performances and reissues in later years.
