Bob Dylan - Stick With Mono

[FernyBass007]

U KNOW WHAT!!!! BOB DYLAN ON MONO...IS WORTH TO LISTEN...THROW AWAY THE STEREO MIXES....BOB DYLAN IS MEANT TO BE IN MONO!!PERIOD!!

[Riderand]

Oh, the evils of "stereo."!! LOL!

[Bazzaland]

Knockin' on heaven's door!

[kingtetvideo]

Very fun! Many people today do not know what "mono" or "stereo" mean. :)

[YRUHooked]

Ah hell.....if it's too loud you're too old!

[CplJoebot]

frank cooper sent me here

[NomiFee]

wish i could have been a teenager in the 60's..*-*

[MusicByTheMoon]

Exactly Scotty!

[dazedcat]

I've heard the mono box. The folk albums do sound better in mono as does John Wesley Harding. The others though? Stereo, sorry kids.

The ad here is still brilliant though.

[totaldrambeatles22]

same with the beatles

[cKunke2]

Bob Dylan in mono is incredible. I highly recommend the box

[MsAnnestube]

I inherited my dad"albums and he played his special RCA recordings of Django Reinhardt in the 1930"s but my album...scratch free...is in stereo then already...yeah..of Django ! WOW

[MsAnnestube]

with stereo..you can hear a jet plane fly from left to right...or...right to left !!

[guidotoons]

Brilliant!

[scarecrow312]

good old American mono!

[filtecuk]

ironic that the rise of the iPod and mp3 player has resulted in people completely abandoning stereo music systems in favour of mono docks (or docks with two speakers so close together they might as well be mono!

Also some stereo mixes are really bad with instruments 100% in one channel and 0% in the other, totally unlistenable on headphones (e.g. a lot of Jimi Hendrix stuff)

[SpeedyGuineaPig]

Hey just saw you

In concert last night ur awesome and going

Strong

[WispaGoldMS]

i lold

[Revolution0629]

i thought it said sick with mono... im not kidding

[Revolution0629]

this is SOOOOO fifties

[sydferret]

how heavy is vinyl these days?  300 g.?

[TheOneartist]

"Senators and homemakers"? So that's where the hippies went. :(

[uhclem]

the kissing disease

[simpledude58]

Some of his electric set are lacking in Mono compared to Stereo though. Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands and Outlaw Blues especially.

[5tubes]

That chick is hot!!!

[astrodog23]

I would bet my bottom dollar that the brains behind this is Bob's friend and producer of his "Theme Time Radio Hour", Eddie Gorodetsky.

[BoshkoIgich]

In Serbia most radio and TV stations transmit in mono!

[KeiserSniTT]

@BoshkoIgich In Serbia most people don't even have televisions.

[sfrdav]

This video is hillarious!! It reminds me of the films they used to play for us in school!

[whokilledcamilo]

the song at the 20 second... what is that song?

[HerrLimb]

@whokilledcamilo

It´s "Obviously 5 Believers" by Bob Dylan. On the album "Blonde on Blonde".

[HerrLimb]

@whokilledcamilo

It´s "Obviously 5 Believers" by Bob Dylan. On the album "Blonde on Blonde".

[whokilledcamilo]

@HerrLimb thanks!!!

[sixchildren100]

I love Bob BUT this is piss yip pure piss BOLT.....Angel fae Scotland..

[AbovePerfect]

For those who don't know, this is a fun commercial about the Bob Dylan Box Set "Original Mono Recordings". It satirizes the "scientists" back in the 60's who used to say that Stereo sound is bad etc... The album came out in October 19, 2010.

[joedivision1992]

or this just a sales pitch so i can buy the songs i already own in a different sound format?

[katoklzmk]

This is a joke,people. Satire? Bob Dylan hasn't a thing to. do with it besides the few bars of music from a couple songs like Rainy Day Women

[katoklzmk]

This is a joke,people. Satire? Bob Dylan hasn't a thing to. do with it besides the few bars of music from a couple sons like Rainy Day Women

[katoklzmk]

This is joke,people.Satire?

[katoklzmk]

It's true; i got mono from Bob Dylan.....still better than the time Jagger gave me gonorrhea..

[mrsnbross]

but now mono is more expensive than stereo : (

[goolkik232]

1:03 that chicks hot

[goolkik232]

that chicks hot

[flytheskatway]

dude who the fuk wouldnt want led zeppelin in your fricken room or what ever else you listen to

[GeorgeElliasVideos]

THE MADNESS!!

[sydferret]

Piper At The Gates of Dawn was only mixed by band in mono, stereo by others.

for example.

[TheOneartist]

@sydferret Yeah, I agree, Pink Floyd's first album sounds really bad in stereo.

Most of Dylan's music isn't as big of a difference but the mono versions are still worth it, and some do have big differences like Blonde on Blonde. And the harmonica on John Wesley Harding isn't lethal and shrill.

I remember being surprised and pleased when I heard one of my favourites "Mr. Tambourine Man" in mono. The electric backing guitar is at the same volume level as the acoustic, not shoved off the the side

[6arcsn1sky]

Is this Bob Dylan's answer to the Beatles Mono Box Set?

[Tifflet]

UK of all places, think in this day and age the big companies would have their copyrights sorted so we could all enjoy content together but nope too many thumbs in the country pie, guess i best go saddle me up my big white goose, tie me on and let her loose... @outwanderin

[oatstao]

the Canadian mono mix 1st press of Blonde is so raw and sublime, you just have to share it with your auntie.

[cadyscofe]

Oh, what a lovely lot of cosy, ironic nostalgia. I was very tempted to give them all of my money and catch mono just because it was all so twee. If only they hadn't kept in that sinister, black screen 'SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT' , but i guess if you paid for it, you want your name on it somewhere, right? You'll always be my #2, Japan!

[paulmcd06]

Stereo and fluoridation. Next thing you know we'll be PAYING for TV!!

[Jackcreambun]

I hope they all got mono

[dead0piggy]

He said darn! We don't use that sort of filthy language in the good old U.S of A!

[bigdjindustriez]

Hey, they could be right!

[ludwigvan818]

@bobika366 - take that rag off your head and stick it up your camel riding ass.

[bobika366]

fuck America

[ManaMupet]

lol

[combinatoric]

I feel vindicated. You better believe I'm sticking with Mono.  Take that unscrupulous profiteers.

[ozorg]

funny clip!

[foxfire180]

Can anyone please tell me what is the song at 2.02?

[sowhatnowhere]

@foxfire180 rainy day women 12 & 35

[foxfire180]

@sowhatnowhere Thanks! :)

[zeppelinhead93]

anyone who likes mono should check out the Beatles in Mono box set

[SonHouse245]

When's this from?

[Ibakecookiess]

what is this? i dont even?

[BrianJ1962]

Dang - so much for quadraphonic then - lol

[443556jack]

girl at 0:52 is hot

[hiccups420]

@443556jack LOL damn you have low standards

[woodedape]

Dig it, Man!!!

[talkingwall]

hysterical

[DoogeMeister]

Classicly funny :o)

[controvers]

Bravo ... :-))))

[Freitasgus]

''3½ dollars!??'' hahahah

[KBird0403]

Hilarious.

[DDInDaHouse187]

I love both stereo and mono. I have all the Beatles albums in Stereo and mono, and i intend to do the same with those 7 Dylan albums eventually.

[bigderfla]

"Twixt." HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! Absolutely brilliant & spot-on parody. All commercials should be this funny! Plus, I love the use of the original records.

[lejupp]

@bigderfla Wait, what do yo mean? Parody?

[clucaspik]

Yes mono sounded great - coming from a 2 inch speaker in the middle of the dashboard.

[ateszartist]

what song is it at 3:08??

[DDInDaHouse187]

@ateszartist it's called 4th Time Around. It's on Blonde on Blonde.

[Epistemophilos]

"3½ dollars!?? That's more than my allowance!!" :-D

[MusicByTheMoon]

exactly scotty! ahaha

[basspig]

Remember the 'ping-pong' stereo mixing techniques of the 1959-63 era? If all stereo were like that, I'd be 100% in agreement with Bob!

[voodooglowskull]

what a flim flam!

[stijnkraft]

That's humor. It certainly isn't real (the sony tapdeck is from the late seventies and some video is definately brand new).

And about mono or stereo: I'd rather have a good mono recording than a bad stereo one, but when your set is positioned right and you are in the 'sweet spot' between your speakers, stereo can be such an experience.

You know what's bullshit? More than two speakers for music. There's plenty of depth in good stereo, only most people don't know how to tune their audio rig ;)

[anguswoodhead]

ha ha ha - classic :-)

[TrollinOnMyFace]

I actually prefer mono. look at all the hits from the 50s. MONO

[CharlieMcCotton]

I like this "sixties" propaganda parody!

Believe it or not, you may have been brainwashed..

Mono or stereo who cares as long as the music is good?

I`m not a sound engineer but am I wrong in saying that some

music sounds better in mono and some music sounds better

in stereo? Think about that for a moment..

When it comes to analog or digital, that`s another story..

[rocknrollforever10]

@CharlieMcCotton I agree...

[Pandemonium44]

haha, what a joke.

[rocknrollforever10]

@ftasic I don't believe he is responsible for that.

[flobsterlobster]

It was definitely worth waking up today

[becksdollface]

can i get a rock group to play in my bedroom?

[TheLifeofEdward]

this video is stupid!! everybody knows that stereo is just two monos!! dont believe the tricky guy in the lab coat!!

[rupman27isback]

couldnt disagree with this video even more.. soo dumb.. mono is cool.. very classy has the old school feel but u have to admit stereo does sound better.. to me it sounds more FULL away from the flatness :)

[pie0my]

There are no hours between work and play.

[marais75012]

As far as I am concerned: I'll stick with Mono!

[unicornsandmustaches]

I can't wait to buy this record for less than three and one half dollars!

btw that out of tune electric guitar in your right speaker is definitely Bob.



[Texeq]

Hilarious - and the best promotional I've seen in eons.

[Isismusicnow]

I love this... I just do

[xtrmsprts]

i got mono last week ... she tasted like strawberries

[bashaeli]

brilliant

[Oglenthorne]

Scottie says "Why would I want to fool my brain?"

Why wouldn't you Scottie?

Sheesh.

[adandap]

Ha ha ha ha ha. Awesome video.

'But why would I want to fool my brain'?

[oldman32123]

???? wtf?

[xJuliia]

ooooooooow now i got it hahahah xD

[FreewheelinLibertine]

What was the song 3:10? It was like picked.

[anderso]

@FreewheelinLibertine It´s called "4th time around" and is from Bob Dylans "Blonde on Blonde" album from 1966.

[dabble778]

@anderso ..Or... it's called "Norwegian Wood" and it's from The Beatles "Rubber Soul" album from 1965 ;-)

[jakewino221]

stereo, mono, as long as its dylan im happy............but its better mono

[MsDIMENO]

ill stick with Mono, Bob

[nibiru48]

You mean, some folks actually bought into the whole stereo thing? Geeez!

[dabble778]

@nibiru48 Not to mention Quadraphonic "Nashville Skyline" :-)

[ReilyShade1]

3:41 was when i said "OHHHHHHHHHHH I GET IT"

[TheFamilarity]

was this Bob's idea?

[szekler666]

I did stick with mono....sadly not this one...

[richhynes]

I'm sticking with Mono!

[dleewhee]

great one!

[TheOfficialBackBrace]

the song played before the columbia jingle was in stereo.

[marshallmclaren]

Mono Rules stereo's for Fools.

[Voyager619]

lolz

[Merkourio]

It is ironic that now we listen to this in Stereo ..

[SayNOtoCarrots]

@Merkourio This video is not in stereo, it is in mono.

[Merkourio]

@SayNOtoCarrots If you are listening it through headphones it is stereo (: Try it out.

[SayNOtoCarrots]

@Merkourio Ooh I stand corrected, hadn't put the headphones. =) Fuck stereo! Real life is in mono!

[jellycracker]

@Merkourio This is a newly recorded commercial it's supposed to be funny…

[MarcBrewer]

Makes me wonder what the hell surround sound is doing do our brains!

[ettiena]

Bob still rules.

[najtrows]

HAHAHAHAHAHA :D Fucking Awesome!

[raythegardener]

A friend of mine had mono when she was a teenager.  Guess she was ahead of her time.

[Tifflet]

whoa a video from bob that isn't blocked in my country

[OutWanderin]

@Tifflet WHERE DO YOU LIVE? REALLY, NO DYLAN?? Stand UP for yourself,

[popatire23]

fucking brilliant! xD

[rocksinger45]

So what should I do, sell one of my speakers and puncher one of my ear drums ..I'm not buying it.

Binaural is the way I hear music......Although this is a great sales pitch brought to you by the great brain trust at CBS/Sony.

RS

[PharaohNineD]

Now that's how you do some advertising by cracky!

[GoddessPictures]

That's why I stick with 5.1 surround sound.

[CJCProductionCo]

hehehehe

[GreatBigSlide]

Only squares listen to Mono..

[BreezyFilm]

Hah

[WKRPinCINN]

i wish they had said, "IVE GOT MONO!!!"

[Brosuke]

Clever commentary on the use of auto-tune today.

[1kofox]

HAHA

[nintenguys88]

Did Bob make this up?

[PumpkinBumpkin333]

LOL

[jsh357]

Lies!  Stereo is a big, fat lie!

[mrblisterfist]

Hilarious !
