Over the weekend, So Much Silence and Crumbler posted this wonderful performance of Temple of the Dog’s grunge hit, “Hunger Strike,” in which Pearl Jam graciously invite Ben Bridwell of (tour openers) Band of Horses to sing Chris Cornell’s original part with ex-Temple member Eddie Vedder. Bridwell may be on a roll here in the cover song department, but it sure isn’t going to his head. As Kevin and Casey noted, only those with a heart of stone could resist saying “aww” at the post-performance hug with Vedder, not to mention his reminder to the headlining act’s massive crowd: “Pearl Jam’s the best band!”
Throw on an old flannel shirt and check out this recent take on one of the best rock songs of the ’90s above.
