But as Walker put it: "Who knows with Dave Roberts? With Dave Roberts you never know." The only word that adequately describes the band is "ineffable," she said. Or is that, "most like the Dead?"Īll of this would seem strange if it wasn't coming from Crawfish of Love. "This version of the Crawfish will be most like the dead," he said. So don't expect to see Roberts or any other familiar Crawfish of Love member instead, zombies will be on stage performing "syncopated moans." He thinks the band members need to be "dead." The twisted saga is documented over several weeks on the band's Facebook page. Their publicity agent, "Bubby Muente," is a "connected" man who's "tied in with people from the New Jersey area," and he knows nothing of the Grateful Dead. Roberts' explanation for this being the "last" show was that everyone in the band had been fired and replaced by zombies. But they've had several such shows, and Walker laughed and said all of their shows are the "last." Listen to the River: St.When asked about the show being billed as Crawfish of Love's "last," Roberts said this could definitely be the end.

The final Grateful Dead performance of the song was in July 1995. It then disappeared again until February 1979 when it returned to a regular position in the repertoire. After the group hiatus in 1975 China Cat did not return to the repertoire until December 1977 for a single outing. From then on it was played regularly through to October 1974. It's good that a few things in this world are clear to all of us.Ĭhina Cat Sunflower was first performed by the Grateful Dead in January 1968. People seem to know exactly what I'm talking about. In his book of lyrics, Box Of Rain Hunter's comment for China Cat Sunflower is Nobody ever asked me the meaning of this song. I'd have to admit that - before you could trace it back. I liked the idea of quick, clicky assonance and alliteration like 'See me dance the polka, said My Wag, like a bear, with my top hat and my whiskers, that tra-la-la trapped affair.' I just liked the way she put things together. It was originally inspired by Dame Edith Sitwell, who had a way with words. In an interview, with Blair Jackson, Hunter commented on the writing of the song I wrote it in different settings and added this and that to it. I wrote Alligator and China Cat Sunflower, and I knew they had a rock 'n' roll band so I mailed them up. He spoke about sending the lyrics to the group in an interview: I moved out to New Mexico to be an artist about the time the Dead really started. China Cat Sunflower was one of the first two lyrics provided by Robert Hunter for the Dead.
