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!

Though there are many GSETs with St. Steven quotes, this is the only one I know with a full-bore jam of the theme. Kick-ass version!

Agree for sure...Keith has some seriously hot licks here and is really throwing his weight around!!

Another amazing version in a run of outstanding Playin's. Jer and Phil are dominating!
