City of Gold BBM
(Moore/Bruce/Hanrahan)
Around the Next Dream 1994
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another Bruce/Baker/Moore number which is highly reminiscent of a classic Cream
performance. In this case, think Crossroads and youll get the general vibe. Its
a standard 12-bar blues in the key of A and it is so similar to the Cream track that
the lyrics and guitar solos could easily be interchanged. The song features some
typically muscular guitar work by Gary Moore (Gibson Les Paul & Marshall JTM45) with
more than a passing nod to EC.
Tuning: standard
