One of the very best early versions!!! Trippy, wild, and emotive, with Ken Babbs throwing in some "flavor"

Wild, loose and scorching Other One followed by one of the best Crypitcal reprises, maybe second only to 3/2/69

OK, so this gets pretty overshadowed by the other heavy-hitter of this show, but this That's It... suite is one of the hottest ever!

A very nice version, but imho it's not as hot as the versions which surround it (7-28 and 8-7-82) or 5-1-81 which is voted as the current "best".
