Bagpipers Blow Past World Record With Fiery AC/DC Tribute
HuffPost
"The Great Melbourne Bagpipe Bash" saw hundreds of pipers belt out the rock band's anthem where it all began.
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Hundreds of bagpipers claimed a new world record on Wednesday by belting out AC/DC’s rock and roll classic “It’s a Long Way to the Top.”
Billed as “The Great Melbourne Bagpipe Bash,” the eclectic performance took place in Melbourne’s Federation Square, on Swanston Street, which was the scene of the Australian hard rock band’s 1976 film clip in which they played the hit on the back of a flatbed truck traveling slowly through downtown traffic with music blaring from speakers.
Federation Square is also a short stroll from the Melbourne Cricket Ground where AC/DC is scheduled to play their first Australian gig in a decade on Wednesday.
Guitarist Angus Young, 70, is the only band member who played on the truck and is performing on the latest Australian tour.
Thousands of spectators crammed the square for the world record attempt.
