Pearl Jam Cover Temple of the Dog’s “Hunter Strike”

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 Temple of the Dog’s late frontman Chris Cornell. Cornell passed away in 2017, and the band hand’t played the song live since then.

Saturday’s show in Sydney marked the final date on 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 hit the road in support of their 2024 album, Dark Matter. They shared the stage with Bradley Cooper, covered Nine Inch Nails, trolled Ted Nugent, and were bribed by a fan into letting him join them on stage for “Yellow Ledbetter.”
