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!

Oh yes!!! The BEST from '72 no doubt, won't argue with it being the definitive one either.

Possibly the most "rockin" China Cat ever!

Underrated version from summer '74! A euphoric peak into the Feelin' Groovy jam
