In January of 1984, the legendary rock 'n roll band made a stop at the BSU Pavilion, now known as ExtraMile Arena, in Boise during their Eliminator Tour. As the story goes, Boise guitar maker John Bolin snuck backstage and introduced himself to Billy Gibbons, the band's lead guitarist. Bolin said he was told by Gibbons that he had ten minutes to show him what he had, which he presented a candy apple-red guitar and matching bass that he made in his shop.
