Guitars and vocals only. Based on basic Europe '72 version. "Basic" because Dead did some absolutely ripping versions later during 1977-1980. But still regardless of the year (I love them all), Jack Straw got to be one of my favorite tunes not just from Dead, but from anyone, anytime. Essays could be written on Robert Hunter's (R.I.P.) lyricism. One of his charms is that each can interpret the metaphors that lie beneath the basic surface story in his own way.
I played Bob's rhythm guitar through MXR Phase 90 phaser.
Some vocals have a sharp or flat note or two, but I did this just for fun. For better results some more rehearsing should be done :)
