The performance also features American vocalist/pianist Oleta Adams who had worked with the band on their album The Seeds Of Love and joined them for the subsequent world tour.

Going to California was initially released on VHS home video and Laserdisc, and was later released on DVD in 2005 as an "extra feature" on the band's Scenes from the Big Chair documentary DVD, complete with an updated 5.1 soundtrack audio option.

It was re-released (by itself) on DVD in 2009 as Tears for Fears - Live from Santa Barbara, which featured twelve of the tracks (the original 1990 release had sixteen). An audio CD version was also released simultaneously under the same title.[1]

Track listing

VHS/Laserdisc/DVD version

2009 "Live from Santa Barbara" (DVD and CD)

The 2009 DVD and CD release uses the tracks from the same performance as the VHS/DVD version but only uses twelve and in a slightly different order. This release ends with "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" instead of "Shout" which has always been used as the closing song at all Tears for Fears concerts since 1985.
