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

Pearl Jam covered Temple of the Dog for the first time in a decade during a concert in Sydney, Australia on Saturday.

The band 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 performance, frontman Eddie Vedder covered Bruce Springsteen’s “No Surrender” for the first time since 2006.

It’s been a busy 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 to let him join them on stage for “Yellow Ledbetter.”
