Pearl Jam’s concert last night at Los Angeles’ Gibson Amphitheatre became the scene of a brief Temple of the Dog reunion, as Chris Cornell joined the Backspacer band for a rendition of the 1991 hit “Hunger Strike,” EW reports. The performance unified all the principal members of Temple of the Dog — Cornell, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Matt Cameron, Mike McCready and background vocalist Eddie Vedder — for the first time since 2003, when these superpowers of Seattle grunge also teamed up in California to perform “Hunger Strike” and “Reach Down.”
But wait, there’s more: Rolling Stone has learned that the other members of Soundgarden — guitarist Kim Thayil and bassist Ben Shepherd — came to the show with Cornell to check out their drummer Matt Cameron pounding the skins with his new band. The pow-wow represents the first time the full band has been seen publicly together in more than a decade.
