Ian McLagan

The Black Crowes swung through Austin on Saturday night as part of its farewell tour, opening with a cover of Traffic’s “Feelin’ Alright”.

Austin resident and former The Faces/Rolling Stones keyboardist Ian McLagan joined the band for its encore for two Faces songs: “You’re So Rude” and “Glad and Sorry”. Since the release of Shake Your Money Maker twenty years ago, the Black Crowes has often been compared to Rod Stewart led Faces.

Canadian producer and guitarist Gordie Johnson, known for producing Gov’t Mule’s last two albums, joined the band for “Poor Elijah”, the final song of the night.
