On This Day in 1967 Ed Sullivan Censored The Rolling Stones
As Ed went on to introduce the next act, the shrieks from the mostly teenage crowd for The Rolling Stones wouldn’t subside. The host grew impatient and demanded the audience to “Quiet!” multiple times. The audience eventually complied and then tried to remain on their best behaviour as they awaited the Stones return through the remaining acts.
The Rolling Stones were back to close the evening’s show with their hit, “Time Is on My Side.” At the end of the performance, Ed made the mistake of encouraging the audience saying, “Come on, let them hear it!” The young crowd accepted the host’s challenge and ended up screaming so loud that Ed’s short conversation with Mick Jagger was completely inaudible
Below is a telegram The Sullivan show received after The Stones' first appearance in 1964.
