Sweet Caroline! It’s Neil Diamonds birthday - for 5 points !…

23) Which instrument appeared on both ‘Its a Long Way to the Top’ by AC/DC and ‘Anthem’ by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band?

Don't know the Alex Harvey song but I'm guessing based on Its a long way to the top that it's bagpipes.

I thought ‘theramin’.

I thought ‘theramin’.

Not knowing the SAHB sing I did wonder if BH was doing a bit of clever misdirection.

I only found out recently that the sound on Good Vibrations isn't actually a Theremin. Apparently there's all sorts of variations of the instrument and what it is on there is one of them.

 

[Millo]

Correct!

I greatly enjoyed both of these videos. Neither would have been made nowadays for snowflake Health and Safety reasons (driving through the streets on a flat bed truck. Gun, knife and sword on stage).
I wonder if Bon could really play the bagpipes?

He did indeed

AC/DC’s ‘It’s A Long Way To The Top’: a celebration of Bon Scott’s bagpipe classic

To mark what would have been Bon Scott's 75th birthday, let’s revisit the song that turned AC/DC into legends: ‘It’s A Long Way To The Top’.

[Sam Armstrong]

I think you're right, i couldn't remember but that rings a bell and it's definitely someone like that.

He (Paul Anka) was on a recently rediscovered Morecambe & Wise episode on the BBC I watched over Christmas where he not only sang the song but also confirmed that he “… wrote it for a good friend”.
