Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HSAS was a band made up of singer Sammy Hagar, guitarist Neal Schon (lead guitarist for Journey), bassist Kenny Aaronson and drummer Michael Shrieve. The group reportedly rehearsed for less than a month before playing in concert. They released a semi-live album, recorded during two live performances at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco, entitled Through the Fire, which includes a cover of Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Some tracks played live in concert were not included on the album, including the song "Bookends". The album was edited in-studio to remove crowd noise, but otherwise was left as recorded. The band toured briefly in California in 1984.

Sammy Hagar and Neal Schon were later bandmates in Planet Us. Schon has also played with Hagar as a solo artist. Schon and Michael Shrieve have also both played in Santana.
