Hagar Schon Aaronson Shrieve (also known as HSAS) were a band featuring lead vocalist Sammy Hagar, lead guitarist Neal Schon, bassist Kenny Aaronson, drummer Michael Shrieve, and later, rhythm guitarist Nick Sciorsci. 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 the Warfield 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, adding rhythm guitarist Nick Sciorsci for live performances.

To record the album, the band played live dates from November 9, 1983 to November 21, 1983 at the Westwood One Mobile Facility. Two of the dates, November 14 and November 15 in San Jose, California were videotaped by MTV. This footage was aired at least once but was never released on official videotapes or DVDs. A full concert was also aired on the radio as a Westwood One Broadcast. Original tracks that didn't make the HSAS "Through the Fire" album include "Tough Enough", "Through the Eyes of Love", "Hope and Fear", "Since You Came", and "What Will Never Be".

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