China Doll acoustic many times over during the 1980 15th Anniversary shows, Warfield/Radio City. I caught one of those at my second show and had the good fortune of knowing the song at the time. Caught one more in Spring of ‘87, Spectrum. Lyrics interpreted probably as widely as Terrapin. The back and forth makes it easy to hold it near, as it were your own, personalize it, help you work it out, shake it out, all over the dance floor. We all love it, but for our own reason. It comes from the core of the Grateful Dead, I think.
