China Cat Sunflower
June 26, 1974
Providence Civic Center

JerrysFinger, this version of China Cat has few votes due to the separation of the songs. It’s the same dynamic as low votes for a great version of Fire. All those votes went to the page for that version of Fire where it also includes Scarlet. So Scarlet>Fire gets those votes not the listing for Fire only. It’s the Same Thing here, thank you Ron. This version of China Cat is number one on this site as it appears for the song (combo) entry: China Cat>Rider. And it’s number one by quite a bit. People don’t seem to vote for the China Rider combo from one specific date and then also make sure to vote for the separate listing of China Cat or I know You Rider. Certainly some may have made sure to vote for one specific China Cat but not many seem to do that. Most of the votes go to the combo and not the songs as singles. And then there are the true stand alones that further confuse the issue. But this China Cat does get loads of votes they just seem to be on the combo page as many comments do mention the Cat specifically. They vote for the combo and leave it at that. I hope that makes sense

“Then we get a tremendous Mojo jam with Lee Oskar of War joining in on harmonica giving it a real bluesy, open feel. The segue into The Other One is so smooth you cannot tell where the Mojo ended and The Other One began, but suddenly you realize that it is indeed that unmistakable theme steaming toward you. And watch out because it gets super head-exploding hot and funky before dropping into an unbelievably sumptuous Stella Blue” (Dead of the Day)
