Perfect dualling (sic) guitars! Comment by Mr. (a) the chorus appears in the studio version, but was dropped very early on in live performances (if indeed it was ever played live). Only twice during this extended period was 'China Cat Sunflower' played without this pairing. Over the next 26 years they would pair these songs together over 500 times, most often as a second set opener.

It’s good that a few things in this world are clear to all of us.” But with lines like Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana/ like a one-eyed Cheshire/ like a diamond-eyed jack / A leaf of all colors plays / a golden string fiddle / to a double-e waterfall over my back, it may be wishful thinking to say that that the words were really “clear to all of us.” To this day, numerous faithful still debate the meaning of the lyric, as seen on a number of websites devoted to discussing the song.Ohh Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia beyond a doubt the greatest songwriting duo ever, so magically mysterious Comment by Andy Inwards People seem to know exactly what I’m talking about. In his outstanding anthology A Box of Rain, Hunter wrote, “Nobody ever asked me the meaning of. One of Hunter’s most abstruse pieces, which became a staple of the Grateful Dead’s legendary hours-long concerts, was “China Cat Sunflower.” It was recorded for the band’s 1969 studio album Aoxomoxoa, and later released on the live Europe ’72 triple album set in a mash-up with the old blues number “I Know You Rider.” The two songs segued together perfectly, and the Grateful Dead performed the combination well over 500 times in live performances. Most of the band’s classics are songs that Hunter wrote the lyrics for, like “Truckin’” and “Friend of the Devil.” Even 1987’s “Touch of Grey” became part of the fabric of life for so many counter-culturalists, some of whom actually were grey by the time “Touch of Grey” was recorded.
