Pearl Jam covered Temple of the Dog's “Hunger Strike” for the first time in a decade during a concert in Sydney, Australia, on Saturday.
The band had last covered the song live in October 2014 at Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit, teaming up with late Temple of the Dog frontman Chris Cornell. Cornell passed away in 2017 and the band has not performed the song live since.
Saturday's show in Sydney marked the final date of Pearl Jam's 2024 tour. Elsewhere in the set, frontman Eddie Vedder covered Bruce Springsteen's “No Surrender” for the first time since 2006.
It was an eventful tour for Pearl Jam, who went on tour to promote their album 2024, dark matter. They shared the stage with Bradley Cooper, covered Nine Inch Nails, trolled Ted Nugent, and a fan bribed them to let him join them on stage to sing “Yellow Ledbetter.”
