Familiar faces teamed up Wednesday night for the first date on the Faces reunion tour with Simply Red's Mick Hucknall replacing the missing Rod Stewart.

Kicking off their tour at London's O2 Arena, Hucknall proved a more than able deputy for Rod the Mod and the crowd reacted enthusiastically to his vocal performance. Critics were also suitably impressed, with This is London saying, "If this was a musical audition, The Faces (and Hucknall) passed with flying colors" and the Telegraph stating, "Mick Hucknall wins fans as he replaces Rod Stewart at Faces reunion."

The new-look Faces includes Ronnie Wood and fellow Faces originals, drummer Kenney Jones and keyboard player Ian McLagan, alongside former Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock and Hucknall. At the O2 show they were also joined Ronnie's son Jesse on guitar. - Wanna see the setlist?
