Great job, great podcast, great list!

That said, I think the 12/7/99 Halley's is severely underrated and that it belongs on the list. Honestly, I'd rank it ahead of 3 out of the 4 SECOND seeds (all except 11/26/94), never even mind the other qualifiers. It's a stunning piece of improvisation, which I consider the best overall jam from 1999, and if it were up to me, it would go VERY deep in this tournament.

My other points of disagreement:

- the 10/31/94 Reba, which I would sub in for the 10/20/94 Hood in a heartbeat.

- the two mega-Tweezers from Summer 95 - 6/14 and 6/22 - both deserve a slot, in my opinion. I know, I need to cut two Tweezers for that, and that's not easy, especially if we need to give 2/28/03 a slot. I would definitely cut the 11/23/94 Tweezer for one of those two.

- either Wolfman's or Stash from 11/30/97. I think either would fit nicely in place of the 12/30/97 Bag.

Agree with you entirely on the 12/7/99 Halley's. But don't touch that 12/30/97 Bag. If it were up to me I'd have that jam vs. 12/31/99 Melt-> Catapult in the final (and yes the Catapult should be listed!).
