On November 1st they played in Detroit’s legendary Cobo Hall. The next night up in Toronto. They had Nov. 3 set for Utica, NY but the show fell through a few weeks before. They were still set for Rochester on Nov. 5th (which was released as Dick’s Picks #34) and Binghamton on Nov. 7th. So less than 4 weeks before this show, while already hitting the road, negotiations began for this show which were only finalized the night before. Cotterrell gym on the Colgate campus is a small venue. Think large high school gym with pull out bleachers. There were only 3,000 folks at the show. But 2300 of them were held for Colgate students so only 700 were sold to the public or really the Deadheads. A tough ticket as the Heads used to say. But those who made it in had a ball and saw one of the best shows of the year. One of those shows that lots of Deadheads wished they had seen. This version of the show from Archive, is an audience tape and a great contrast to other episodes where we have featured Dead show clips from audience tapes. This one was...

These were the last shows where the Dead played acoustic sets. Songs from all of these concerts were pulled for the two related Dead double album releases, Reckoning (acoustic music, released April 1, 1981- the Band’s sixth live album and 17th overall) and Dead Set (electric music, released August 26, 1981, the Band’s seventh live album and 18th overall). Today’s episode is broken up into three acoustic numbers from this show and then three electric numbers. INTRO: Iko Iko Track #1 0:00 – 1:37 "Iko Iko" (/ˈaɪkoʊˈaɪkoʊ/) is a much-coveredNew Orleans song that tells of a parade collision between two tribes of Mardi Gras Indians and the traditional confrontation. The song, under the original title "Jock-A-Mo", was written and released in 1953 as a single by James "Sugar Boy" Crawford and his Cane Cutters but it failed to make the charts. The song first became popular in 1965 by the girl groupthe Dixie Cups, who scored an international hit with "Iko Iko" released in March, 1965. In 1967, as part of a lawsuit settlement between Crawford and the Dixie Cups, the trio were given part songwriting credit for the song. A permanent part of the Dead’s repertoire since first played in May, 1977 in St. Louis, almost by accident out of and back into a Not Fade Away. The intro, one verse and back to NFA. Overtime, became a tune that was not frequently played, usually once, maybe twice, a tour, but whenever it was played it created a party atmosphere out of whatever the mood had been prior to its playing. Perfect song for Jerry with the call and response chorus that everyone joined in on. The song that “fastened my seatbelt on the bus” when I saw it for the first time at my second show ever in Syracuse in 1982 with good buddy Mikey. Once you hear it live, you are always looking for it at future shows. I love this song as do many Deadheads. But getting to hear it played acoustically is a real treat and a great way to open this “hometown” show. Jerry played it right up until the end. Played: 185 timesFirst: May 15, 1977 at St. Louis Arena, St. Louis, MO, USALast: July 5, 1995 at Riverport ...
