Jack Straw is a rock song written by Bob Weir and Robert Hunter in the Troubadour tradition. It was inspired by the 1939 film Of Mice and Men. The track appeared on the Grateful Dead album, Europe '72, and was frequently performed live by the band. The song was first performed in concert on October 19, 1971, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Over the years, the vocals shifted between Weir and Jerry Garcia though in the song's earliest performances (c. 1971–72), Weir sang all of the vocals. The song also became much faster in tempo over the years, less concentrated on vocal harmony and more of a high-energy rock jam. The Grateful Dead tribute album Deadicated contains a cover of Jack Straw recorded by Bruce Hornsby and the Range. ==References== *(Weiner, Robert G.(1999).
