Pearl Jam Revisit ‘Hunger Strike’, Dedicate ‘No Surrender’ Cover to Bruce Springsteen at Sydney Show


The final show of the band's Dark Matter world tour wrapped up in Australia with a handful of surprise cover versions.

Considered something of a retroactive supergroup due the presence of future Pearl Jam and Soundgarden members, the original version features respective frontmen Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell sharing co-lead vocal duties on the track. It’s become a grunge anthem, and as a result, it’s sporadically been played by Pearl Jam, with its last appearance in the band’s set being at Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit in October 2014. Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam performs live on stage during the Dark Matter world tour at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 4, 2024 in New York City.
