  On October 6, 1991, Temple of the Dog was in the midst of a significant moment in their career. The band's only self-titled album had been released just months earlier, on April 16, 1991, to critical acclaim and commercial success. This album served as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood, the singer of Mother Love Bone, and featured contributions from prominent musicians who would go on to form the core of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Notably, the live recording from Hollywood includes performances of "Hunger Strike," one of the band's most iconic songs, highlighting the blend of rock influences that characterized their music. The band's ability to fuse heartfelt lyrics with memorable melodies resonated with fans, and this period solidified their legacy in the grunge scene of the early '90s. The performances showcased in this recording reflect the band’s raw energy and the collaboration among its members, which would lead to significant ventures in their respective careers.
