>>The entire evening was compressed by a late gate opening. Austin-based opener Ian McLagan and his Bump Band played a tight 40-minute set of organ-driven R&B and rock.
After acknowledging the greatness of a Stones appearance in Austin, McLagan told the crowd, "They might be your favorite band, but they were my favorite band first." After all, McLagan and Stones guitarist Ron Wood did time in the Faces, England's ultimate bar band.
Although Wood did not join the Bump Band onstage, McLagan mentioned him now and then, mostly when he played one of Wood's old songs, "Cindy Incidentally." McLagan and the Bump Band's most recent album, "Spiritual Boy," is a tribute to late Faces bassist Ronnie Lane.
The band alternated between songs from that record and McLagan tunes such as "Got a Date with an Angel." The band sounded fit and warm, bolstered by guitarist Scrappy Jud Newcomb's bluesy solos and Mark Andes' propulsive bass playing.<<
