Unless, I'm an idiot, I just noticed that the basic riffs between Pearl Jam's
Footsteps and Temple of the Dog's Times of Trouble are nearly identical. Does
anybody know the story or relation?

Stone wrote the song and let chris sing it on the temple cd. they had
recorded it for the ten album but didn't put it on because Stone let
chris use it on the temple album. So eddie and chris have two different
vocals to the same song
I read an interview where Eddie said that they wrote this during the
Temple of the Dog sessions, but then he had some lyrics that he thought
would fit, and decided to redo it.

Eddie says, "Chris has his version; I have mine." It's kinda like the
chicken or the egg; no one knows which came first.

I believe the correct story is that Stone wrote the main guitar riff of
the song, and then presented it to both Chris and Eddie. Eddie came up
with Footsteps while Chris came up with Times of Trouble.
read the FAQ!
When the band was forming and Jack Irons recomended Eddie as the vocalist
they sent him a demo tape. Eddie went surfing at night went back to his
small shack he was living in on the beach and layed out three songs on the
demo they sent him. They were Alive, Even Flow, and Footsteps. therefore
Stone and Mike wrote the song and Eddie created the lyrics long before
Temple of the dog.

NOW...the REAL answer....
everything is right up until the alive, evenflow, footsteps part. it was mamasan
(the mini opera...if you need more explanation, just ask) alive, once and
footsteps. that is why there is the pj version and the totd version. and why
footsteps has not been on an album.
cheers,
