While penning their 1990 studio album, BRIGADE, the Wilson sisters became disenchanted with the keyboard-heavy pop sound featured on Heart's previous two records, as well as working with outside songwriters. On the ensuing tour, the sisters had turned their back on their late-'80s Top 40 hits, focusing primarily on their late-'70s glory period and material from their latest album. But for Heart's second live album, 1991's ROCK THE HOUSE LIVE!, the band decided to mostly showcase their recent direction (the rockers "Wild Child," "Night"), with just a few old gems such as the rapid-fire "Barracuda" and the tranquil "Love Alive" featured.

Led by sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, Heart struck a crucial blow for feminisim in the male-dominated world of '70s rock. They could switch from powerful, Zeppelin-like grandeur to gorgeous acoustic ballads in the blink of an eye and turned out a stream of radio staples. By the '80s, they were churning out slick pop, but the sisters re-emerged in the '90s in stripped-down acoustic duo format as the Lovemongers.
