Through the Fire, released on Geffen in 1984, is the one and only studio album from HSAS, the supergroup of Sammy Hagar on lead vocals, Neal Schon on lead guitar, Kenny Aaronson on bass and Michael Shrieve on drums. Calling it a studio album is a stretch: the band reportedly rehearsed for less than a month, then cut the record across two live shows at The Warfield in San Francisco, with guitar overdubs added later.
You can hear the adrenaline. It's big, sweaty hard rock with Hagar belting over Schon's soaring leads and a rhythm section that sounds like it's been told to keep up or get out of the way. "Missing You" and "Top of the Rock" made the countdowns, but the lone single was a cover of Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale", which crept to No. 94 on the Hot 100.
