More on Gary Pihl
Description from Wikipedia:
Gary Pihl (pronounced "Peel") is a guitarist most famous for playing for Sammy Hagar and the band Boston.
At his home recording studio, he worked with the founding members of a band that would be called "Night Ranger". They recorded their second album, Midnight Madness, at his home studio. Night Ranger was then called "Ranger" but found the name used by another band and changed it prior to the album release.
He also played with several other bands including Day Blindness, Crossfire (Steve Jones, Mitchell Froom, David Froom, Phil Marshall with Jeff Dornfield as manager), Stark Raving Mad (Gary on lead vocals and guitar, Donovan Stark, Paul Taylor later of Winger and Jay Causbrook, with Eric Martin of Mr. Big joining after Gary left, among other players), and Alliance. (Note: There have been several different bands named Alliance.)
Crossfire featured an ARP Odyssey and ARP String Ensemble played by Mitchell Froom (who would later become know for the soundtrack to "La Bamba" and other films while also producing bands in LA). Crossfire's seminal moment was their performance at the "Stop the Dam Concert" held at Sonoma State College, (now Sonoma State University). The concert was to raise awareness and funds to stop the Army Corps of Engineers construction of the Lake Sonoma Dam project in Geyserville's Dry Creek Valley.
Before leaving Stark Raving Mad to join Sammy Hagar he was known for songs such as "Olga on the Volga".
Sammy Hagar was the opening act on Boston's second tour in 1978. It was on that tour that Pihl first met Tom Scholz. The two of them found out how much they had in common with their extensive home studios and techniques. It set up a life long bond and a few years later Tom asked Pihl to join Boston.
