1979 Publicity photo

This above shot is from a series of publicity photos for the band that were shot in Galesburg Illinois in 1979 when the whole band was relocated there and working out of that town for awhile. Within a little over a year, external appearances would change greatly, as later photos will show.

The second Crystal Haze Band album is a big departure from the original sounds of the band, and mirrors the then current influences in Dave's life musically at that time. It has probably more of an affinity to Rush Hemispheres, than to anything on the first album, while the first album owes more to Zeppelin, Ted Nugent, and a host of other heavy 70's bands.

The scratch tracks for the third album  (in 1996) show a definite return to the influences which define the first album, and still define the band's LIVE sound today
