Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell's Final Performance of 'Hunger Strike'

Date: October 26, 2014

On October 26, 2014, Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell performed "Hunger Strike," a significant track from the self-titled album released by Temple of the Dog in 1991. This live performance marked a poignant moment for fans, as it represented one of the last times the two iconic vocalists shared the stage together. The Temple of the Dog project was a tribute to the late Andrew Wood, the frontman of Mother Love Bone, and featured members who would later achieve immense success with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. The original album unified the burgeoning Seattle music scene and is often seen as a precursor to the grunge explosion. This performance came during a period when both Vedder and Cornell were reflecting on their respective careers, adding emotional weight to their rendition of "Hunger Strike," a song known for its themes of struggle and solidarity.
