![Wikipedia entry re: the album.
^ Production
Following 3-Way Tie (For Last), Minutemen decided to do a live album entitled, Three Dudes, Six Sides, Half Studio, Half Live.7] The group printed ballots which they passed out to fans during their summer and fall 1985 performances as well as inserted into the first pressing of 3-Way Tie (For Last); the ballots would determine which songs the band would record for the live portion of the album. 81[9]
The death of guitarist and lead singer D.
Boon on December 22, 1985 scuttled
Minutemen, putting an end to both the band and the planned live album. [101 Surviving members Mike Watt and George Hurley, a few months from reuniting to form Firehose with singer/guitarist Ed Crawford, decided to use the ballots and existing live recordings (many sent in by fans and friends) to compile the album.

Minutemen, 3-Way Tie (For Last) (1985)
A record full of protest music and songs, still actual today, great music made by great heroes, still missing the voice of D BOON!! (R.I.P)
