Whoa.

Rumble (instrumental)
en.wikipedia.org(instrumental)

...It was banned in several US radio markets, because the term 'rumble' was a slang term for a gang fight, and it was feared that the piece's harsh sound glorified juvenile delinquency.[5] The record is the only instrumental single ever banned from radio in the United States.[7][8]...

Thanks for that.

Ya know, it brings to mind, maybe another sub-theme for this thread this evening...

Songs that have been banned from the radio, or have had their lyrics changed in tunes.

Thanks!

Jefferson Airplane - We Can Be Together

You won't hear this version of the radio nowadays.

Another, more recent song that has had issues with radio air-play...

James - Laid
www.youtube.com

There's a WikiPedia page that lists the radio stations that play the unadulterated version of the song...

Laid (song)
en.wikipedia.org(song)

...Today, a number of alternative rock stations, including Boston's RadioBDC, WBOS, Maryland's WRNR-FM, Chicago's WXRT, Missoula's KDTR-FM, Philadelphia's WRFF and suburban New York City's WXPK will play "Laid" with the original controversial line. ...

Another...

From 1977...

Jet Airliner - Threshold - Steve Miller Band -1977
www.youtube.com

That version has the original lyrics.

When the song was played on the radio, the word "---" is replaced with "stuff."

fwiw, the radio station i currently listen to and enjoy ( www.1071thepeak.com ) has played that song with that censored-by-some word proudly sung.

I guess that is the Libertarian side of me. :)

John Lennon - Imagine
www.youtube.com

Yes, that song had issues with some radio stations, and was banned.

Radio stations in the U.S. and Canada are banning the 1940's classic, "Baby It's Cold Outside" amid the "#metoo" movement

Baby it's, controversial? Radio stations ban a holiday classic

Woof, wow.

Sorry, I do not see it.

Please explain.

Best version is with Lou Rawls.

Doors and Light My Fire.

Ike and Tina Turner Revue, Phoenix, Nov. 10, 1969, opening for The Rolling Stones: youtu.be

Bo Diddley opened when I saw them in Santa Monica

Ray LaMontagne - Let It Be Me
Les Rocs - Pieces and Suicide Romantics
Oscar and the Wolf - All We Want

"Bo Diddley opened when I saw them in Santa Monica"

That must have been quite a show.

"Sorry, I do not see it."

It has a Pepe Le Pew odor about it.
I pesronally don't care, but I won't deny it's there.

Oh boy was it ever. I've been very lucky to have attended some absolutely amazing concerts.

Weirdest concert I attended had Ted Nugent as the opener, Brian Auger and the Oblivion Express as the 2nd act, and the headliner was Elvin Bishop (Fooled around and fell in love version)
1/3 cut down Pauley Pavillion. (there was a curtain hiding the rest of the arena)
Nugent's first album was about to drop.
Elvin grabbed a full bottle of Jack from a fan and chugged it.
Woof.

@#12 ... Marie Marie
The Blasters (Downey's own) ...

Another by The Blasters...

The Blasters "Colored Lights"

Gloria was a a song produced in '64 by 'THEM' {Van Morrison was one of the group's members} .... a number of years later Jim Morrison did a version [dirty] putting his own 'stamp' on the song in his unique style of performance:

@#30 ... Elvin grabbed a full bottle of Jack from a fan and chugged it.
Woof. ...

If the fan was in the front row or two, then it could have been a plant with fake whiskey, for effect.

Concerts are a show, complete with props.

If you'd have seen Elvin's blood-shot eyes, you'd know better. He was toasted like a marshmellow.

@#34 ... f you'd have seen Elvin's blood-shot eyes, you'd know better. He was toasted like a marshmellow. ...

I hadn't.

Thanks for the follow-up.

OK, I'll say, in this case, it was not a prop.

Bluesman Elvin Bishop stays true to his musical roots (2016)
ottawacitizen.com

...Another thing Bishop and Musselwhite have in common is alcohol.

"We are the two guys in the world that nobody thought would quit drinking. We got our money's worth."

But Bishop doesn't blame the life of the musician for his addiction. ...

btw, that is an excellent article about Mr Bishop, worth a read, imo.
