Heart

During the period when Heart performed "Going to California" live on the Howard Stern Show, the band was experiencing a resurgence in popularity. This performance took place in 2016, and just prior to this, Heart had released the album "Beautiful Broken" in 2016, which featured reworked versions of some of their classic songs alongside new material. The choice to cover a Led Zeppelin classic highlights Heart's roots in rock and showcases their versatility, as they not only honor iconic influences but also display the power of Ann and Nancy Wilson's harmonies. Furthermore, by performing on a prominent platform like the Howard Stern Show, Heart was reaching both long-time fans and a newer audience, reinforcing their enduring relevance in the rock music scene. This performance aligns with Heart's legacy of strong live performances and their ability to engage with fans through both new and nostalgic renditions of music.
