Kieth and Donna's last Straw and it's almost as extreme as any from winter '79

A night after the concensus number one and it's finnally getting exposure. The recording is AUD too. Rhythm guitar and applouse!

The > into a rocking Truckin' is a true segue and not just a 'no huddle' like most of GDs segues.

Not going to lie submitted this one before I heard the ending.I bring it up because it features a pretty sick Mojo jam! + I just wanted to get this show out there in the headysphere

'81 might be best year for Estimated and this version is rock 'n roll to the max. The Althea, LLR and Wharf Rat(even with Pete lost as hell) also kill

Sometimes I think this is the best version to date. It's definitely dominated by the drummers and that guy playing lead guitar oh lawdy, lawdy! Keith really rocks this one. The jam has a beginning(Jerry rocking some power chords) middle(Jerry shredding like a Mofo) and an end (explosive TNT followed by a cool off period with basic riffs to get timing right to sing final verse) This deserves at least 20 up votes. To believe any Jack Straw from '72-'73 is stronger than this one is just ludicrous! A smoking set ending Deal follows.

Can't believe i'm the first one to comment here. This was the Jack Straw that really got me into the song. Jerry wails, Phil bops, and Keith is either playing very well or very poor - either well it's just nice to hear him.
