The Magpie Salute is a rootsy, rocking ten piece collective formed by Black Crowes founder Rich Robinson, comprised of members of Rich's post-Crowes solo band as well as other Crowes alumni, most notably guitar foil Marc Ford. Their inaugural US tour brought them to a not quite capacity but very appreciate crowd at Boston's Wilbur August 3rd. The two hour show delivered in all the ways Black Crowes shows used to, with the added bonus of new frontman John Hogg and additional guitarist Nico Bereciaurta to assist on gems from the catalog, Ford and Robinson's solo output, and appropriate covers such as the Rolling Stones' Let it Loose, the Allman Brothers' Stand Back and Rod stewart's Gasoline Alley. That last one featured in a mid-show acoustic set before they brought it all home with a romp through some more classics and current Magpie radio hit Omission.
