See the classic Byrds lineup's final performance to date, at the 1991 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony
McGuinn isn’t willing to do that, but he is willing to do solo shows focused heavily on Byrds songs. He was also willing to reunite with Chris Hillman last year for a tour celebrating the 50th anniversary ofThey justified excluding Crosby from that since he wasn’t on that album, even though a decent chunk of the show was devoted to songs from his era like “Mr. Tambourine Man” and “So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star.
The Byrds have reunited a number of times over the years, beginning back in 1973 when the original lineup reformed for a self-titled album. They drifted apart after that into projects like 1979’s McGuinn, Clark and Hillman, and in the 1980s they went to war when rhythm guitarist Gene Clark and drummer Michael Clarke took their own versions of the Byrds on the road. This led to legal action and McGuinn, Crosby, and Hillman briefly touring together to reestablish the trademark.
This whole mess was still being worked out when the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on January 16th, 1991. Surprisingly, they were able to put all their problems aside for the evening and perform “Turn Turn Turn,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and “I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better.” As you can see from this video, Crosby was in a wheelchair and they weren’t exactly in top form, but it was historic nonetheless.
Gene Clark died just four months later and Michael Clarke followed two years later. Sadly, that wasn’t enough to bring the surviving members together for one last tour. And even though all these years later, the three of them still have very strong singing voices and remain active on the road, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.
