(UPI) -- It’s Pearl Jam Week on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and star-studded performances have been taking place since Monday night.

To begin the week, Chris Cornell and The Avett Brothers took the stage to perform a version of Pearl Jam's “Footsteps.” The tune, which was penned by Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard, was first used by Cornell and Gossard on the Temple of the Dog song "Times of Trouble." Pearl Jam still plays the song live and they actually busted it out during their Saturday night show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

"Footsteps" was released by Pearl Jam as the B-side on the single for "Jeremy."

On Tuesday night, Robin Pecknold of the Fleet Foxes made his first television appearance in two years while performing a version of “Corduroy” off of Vitalogy. Pecknold was joined by Grizzly Bear’s Daniel Rossen and Bill Callahan drummer Neal Morgan.

As Pearl Jam Week rocks on, Dierks Bentley, Mike McCready (of Pearl Jam) and The Roots will perform on Wednesday night.

Pearl Jam themselves will end the week with performances on Thursday and Friday.
