In response to the answer that was up here. Iko Iko would be more accurately classified as a cross between Calypso and Zydeco. The Grateful Dead never really had any songs that were "pure" reggae but there were a few that wore it's influence heavily. Crazy Fingers, Estimated Prophet(despite it being in 7), and the Jerry Band tune Love In The Afternoon all have very discernible reggae undertones. Reggae and world music had a huge influence on the GD's unique sound and approach to laying down grooves. Songs like They Love Each Other, Row Jimmy and He's Gone all utilize an instrumental approach that's rooted in the way a great reggae band approaches rhythm.
The JGB also tackled several reggae tunes Harder They Come, Struggling Man by Jimmy Cliff; Stop That Train by Peter Tosh and the chorus of "Knockin on Heaven's Door".
