I must say, I give the producers of the bootleg more credit for creativity here, "Life Takes No Prisoners" is a much better title than "Live at Reading" especially for a release under the Nirvana name. I will, however be buying the official version (don't want to fund the "terrorism" that these bootleggers get up to you see) but I'll still call it by the bootlegs more interesting and somewhat mysterious title.
