"...the Dead knew this song as "The Rub". In July 1964, for example, Weir introduces it by saying that Mr Pigpen McKernan is going to sing a Lightnin' Hopkins song - The Rub..."

Bob Weir was 16 years old at the time. Jerry did most of the singing, Pigpen next. Bobby was not quite ready for primetime yet.
