Bootleg a Bootleg, You Cut Out the Middleman is a live album by Less Than Jake, recorded on May 29, 1997 in Las Vegas, NV during the Caffeine Nation Tour. It was originally recorded for Westwood-1 Radio, but station copy was stolen and copies regularly sold on eBay for over $20. Upset that their fans were being exploited, the band obtained a copy and released it themselves for a cheaper price through their mailorder.
