------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waiting in the Wings – BBM (Moore/Bruce) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: varannion Email: dm_hughes1@hotmail.com I can’t believe that there’s no tablature available on-line for this great band (BBM: Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, Gary Moore). ‘Waiting in the Wings’ is the opening track from their only album ‘Around the Next Dream’ (1994) and is reminiscent of Cream’s ‘White Room’ and/or ‘Tales Brave Ulysses’. It’s certainly very creamy and features some wonderful wah-wah guitar by Moore. Tab is for the complete song including the second solo.
