When the boys performed with Robert Plant at the house of blues to pitch in for Katrina relief,
Pearl Jam played this song and dedicated it to Plant, ( which was an obvious shout out to the similar progression as going to california)
and then Plant took the Stage and played Going to California while winking and smiling at Mike McCready ( Pearl Jam's lead guitarist and the music writer of Given to Fly, Eddie wrote the lyrics)
That sounds to me like nothing more than mutual artistic respect....
Not to bash Zeppelin anyways, they were PIONEERS in the rock and roll world, but the rhythm for Going to California itself was actually inspired by an eastern Hindu Indian Hymn....or something along those lines.....
