Well, I wasn't there. I don't know. But I wouldn't put it past Diamond.
Of course, Bob Dylan's legendary for his put-downs, too. Supposedly, Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant warmly introduced himself to Dylan at a party in Los Angeles. The exchange went like this.
Grant: "Hello, Bob. My name's Peter Grant. I'm the manager of Led Zeppelin."
Dylan: "Do I come to you with my problems?"
Grant was at a loss for words.

Neil Diamond is up there because he is a phenomenal songwriter and a damn good singer. The Band respected and acknowledged that.
Dylan saw them play ...( 2 weeks ago by typewriter10000)
Dylan saw them play in a small club in Canada and asked if they wanted to play the Hollywood Bowl with him - I wouldn't call that "keeping them down."
That's hilarious.( 2 weeks ago by typewriter10000)

They were paid ...( 5 days ago by irluckey)
They were paid 150.00 usd EACH for that gig and a cheap room at a Holiday Inn. What did Dylan make?
Then merely called them "the band".
Never did they mega success they deserve.
After all they are just the band for DYLAN.
Wake Up FOOL!
So you think that ...( 5 days ago by typewriter10000)
So you think that Dylan giving them worldwide exposure was detrimental to their careers? It gave them enough credibility to release an album (consisting of three Dylan tracks.) They clearly enjoyed playing with Dylan, why else would they have moved to Woodstock to record The Basement Tapes? Those songs weren't intended for commercial release so there was no other reason to do them.

you gotta love that any criticism or better yet any compliment towards the band that all the dylan lovers scatter out of the bushes to leave a negative comment. big pink and the band albums are better than any album dylan has ever released.
