Jessica Letkemann from Billboard.com is reporting:
In an epic kickoff to the band's two-day festival celebrating its 20th anniversary, PEARL JAM's nearly three-hour rarities-studded set at Wisconsin's Alpine Valley Music Theater Saturday (September 3) tapped a rich vein of Seattle rock history when SOUNDAGARDEN's Chris Cornell joined the band for a four-song TEMPLE OF THE DOG run before MUDHONEY appeared with PJ to cover MC5's 'Kick Out The Jams'.
The Cornell-infused second encore included 1991 Temple gems 'Hunger Strike', 'Say Hello 2 Heaven' and 'Reach Down' and reached back to pre-PJ band MOTHER LOVE BONE for 'Stardog Champion'.

The PJ20 festival action continues tomorrow (September 4) in East Troy, Wis., as the band continues a birthday blitz that also includes a Pearl Jam Twenty documentary by director Cameron Crowe which debuts at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, it's soundtrack, and an accompanying retrospective book due September 13, as well as a Canadian and South American Tour this fall.
