NOTE:
For audio discs split after Two Horny Blues and before Royal Garden Blues -- this is where the disc break was but I opted to make an attempt at making it seamless in these days of music players and such ... my work isn't perfect, but I preferred it to the disc break that was between the those two tracks. If you want the original tracks just shoot me an email.

I'm not sure of the actual source but it sounds great (honestly!) and since I've never seen the existing SHN fileset in circulation (and the only two db.etree users noted as owning it haven't touched their respective lists in years) I figured there couldn't be any harm in my sharing this EAC rip of the discs I got from the taper, who's name now escapes me since I did not track source info in any way back in '99 -- but HUGE thanks to that guy for capturing the music from this wonderful sunny afternoon where we enjoyed some outdoor Tones, and so we can now enjoy the music again. 

The circulating source is listed here:
http://db.etree.org/shn/1329

... and I'm uncertain if this fileset is the same source mics or not.

I've included some photos I took that day in case there's interest -- they're not great, but decent shots (I'm just not a camera guy). 

And finally, I'd like to dedicate this torrent to the slightly older (and possibly inebriated?) lady in the red dress that just got down dancing ALL afternoon!
