"Hunger Strike" was Temple of the Dog's most popular song, a top 20 hit in 1992. It still receives regular radio play on many hard rock radio stations. It has been performed recently by both Pearl Jam and Audioslave. Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder reunited to sing the song during Pearl Jam's 2003 tour, and Eddie Vedder and Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney performed "Hunger Strike" that is viewable as an easter egg on disc 1 of the Pearl Jam Live at the Garden DVD. Most recently it was performed by Pearl Jam and Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother during their 2006 European tour.
