While trolling for 50 Foot Wave info. I was at this show too, and I totally disagree with your Howe Gelb comments. I'm totally unaware of his music outside of his contribution to the Grotto, but I enjoyed his set a lot. And that version of Snake Oil that night is the best I've ever heard. Howe did not ruin it at all.
(I also parked at 1000 Van Ness, but I've never been charged anywhere near $20 for parking there)
Late comment, but I just found this
