28 August 1965, the Beatles play Balboa Park, San Diego. One of the opening acts was King Curtis. Among other opening acts, Cannibal and the Headhunters, who closed their set with their own hit, "Land of a Thousand Dances."...............what a strange night  ____________________

More trivia. In an interview somewhere, John Lennon commented favorably on Duane's playing on some Ronnie Hawkins songs.

I think it's on the b-side of a 45 of "Down in the Alley" where John Lennon comments on Duane's playing. Don't have it, but have a recording of it somewhere.

That's pretty cool - never knew about that.
I always wondered about the Beatles - Allman Brothers connection.
So, John knew about Duane. I saw a photo of Gregg and Cher having dinner with Paul and Linda. And of course, there's Duane and D&TD after they had played and recorded with George Harrison. So that leaves Ringo - not sure, but there probably is a link somewhere. ____________________

Instead of going to work, I've been searching the internet for a Ringo Starr - ABB connection, and I found it: Pat Liston of Mama's Pride -
"Meeting and playing as Gregg Allman's backup band was a major event for both Pat and Danny. Even though it only lasted about six months, they both remember it fondly. It was a great deal since they came out as Mama's Pride to open the show and then returned as Gregg's band for the remainder of the show. They also talked about playing as the opening act for the Ringo Starr All Star Band. This was in 1992 at Riverport Amphitheater in St. Louis Missouri. Since Ringo was recovering from a drinking problem, no alcohol was allowed backstage. Danny said "The atmosphere backstage was amazing. It was a real family atmosphere. You weren't afraid or embarrassed to take your wife or kids backstage with you." Pat said one particular moment from this show stands out for him. "I remember being on stage and looking over at Danny and seeing how he was enjoying himself. It was really great to know that he was completely sober. This was so different from how I usually saw him when he was on stage." Both remember Todd Rundgren and other "superstars" in Ringo's band standing on the side of the stage tapping their feet and enjoying the music as Mama's Pride played. The next day, Danny and Pat got a call from Ringo's tour manager asking them to continue on the tour as Ringo's opening act. Two days later, Mama's Pride were in Kansas City Missouri opening for Ringo once again. But they were unable to continue the tour since most members of the band had other jobs and were unable to pick up and go on tour."

King Curtis, and Wilson Pickett would later cover the song Land of a Thousand Dances....kinda like a Kevin Bacon thing

John Lennon mentions the ABB in another late interview. Talking about how they used the guitar riff from Bobby Parker's "Watch Your Step" for the basis of many Beatle riffs ("Ticket To Ride" ect.) he then says that the Allman Brothers used the riff without alteration ("One Way Out" but it is slightly changed) then says "That's OK too".
