The Byrds/ˈbɜːrdz/ were an American rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964. The band underwent multiple line-up changes throughout its existence, with frontman Roger McGuinn (known as Jim McGuinn until mid-1967) remaining the sole consistent member, until the group disbanded in 1973. Although they only managed to attain the huge commercial success of contemporaries like the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones for a short period (1965–66), the Byrds are today considered by critics to be one of the most influential bands of the 1960s. Initially, they pioneered the musical genre of folk rock, melding the influence of the Beatles and other British Invasion bands with contemporary and traditional folk music. As the 1960s progressed, the band was also influential in originating psychedelic rock, raga rock, and country rock.
The Byrds is a four-CDbox set by the American rockbandThe Byrds that was released on October 19, 1990 by Columbia/Legacy. The compilation comprises 90 tracks and covers the band's career from 1965 to 1971 (a period when they were signed to Columbia Records) in roughly chronological order, but excludes material from their 1973 reunion album Byrds, which was released on Asylum Records. The box set also includes six songs performed by a reunited line-up of The Byrds, featuring original members Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and Chris Hillman. Of these six songs, two were recorded live at the Roy Orbison Tribute Concert on February 24, 1990 and four are new studio recordings dating from August 1990. The two other original members of The Byrds, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke, who were both still living in 1990, did not participate in the reunion.
At the time of its release, The Byrds was the first box set by a defunct rock act to be issued by Columbia Records. The compilation includes a number of rare and previously unreleased songs, many of which were later included as bonus tracks on the remastered editions of the band's individual albums. Of special interest to fans of both The Byrds and country rock pioneer Gram Parsons, was the inclusion of six previously unreleased tracks from the recording sessions of The Byrds' 1968 album, Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Of these unreleased tracks, the versions of "The Christian Life", "You Don't Miss Your Water", and "One Hundred Years from Now" featured their original Parsons' lead vocals, which had been removed and replaced by McGuinn and Hillman prior to the release of the album. In the years since Sweetheart of the Rodeo was issued, these "lost" Parsons' vocals had become near-legendary among fans of the band and their inclusion on The Byrds provided a major selling point for the box set.

The Byrds - "The Times They Are A Changin'" - 10/4/65
Wonderful & Retro vid from the band's second and final appearance on "Hulla...."
This is a pre-recorded backing track with live vocals. Unfortunately Gene & David's mics are mixed low, so we don't quite get the full "Byrds Splendor" as far as the harmonies go.
Listen to how the tape slows down during Crosby's close-up.
Busted!! :-)
This and the Sullivan shows are the only colour footage that I know of from the "Original 5".
Michael Landon being the host on this October evening, he was riding high on "Bonanza" at the time.

The Byrds was an American rock group that focused on the folk rock subgenre and were influential in introducing this genre to music fans. The band had several members throughout their lifespan – each of whom contributed to the band’s success and unique style.
Sadly, some of The Byrds members are no longer with us. Some of them lived long lives and some of them had their lives cut tragically short. But what The Byrds members had in common was their incredible talent.
One of the founders was Gene Clark who was a singer-songwriter and helped write many of the band’s biggest hits. He was keen on recording music but often felt anxious about touring with them as he hated traveling. He died in 1991 at the age of 46.
Mike Clarke was a young jazz drummer who became a star when he became a member of The Byrds. He wasn’t too involved with the songwriting but nevertheless helped compose some of the band’s best songs. He sadly died in his forties due to liver failure.
But what about Gram Parsons? He died at a young age and what happened to his corpse after his death remains shocking and unthinkable to this day. Sadly, he wasn’t the only one. Clarence White was the talented guitarist for the band and was killed in his twenties.
Kevin Kelley and Skip Battin also had short stints with The Byrds and are sadly no longer with us. This unique band had its share of ups and downs and some members lasted longer than others. Nevertheless, we can thank all of them for creating some of the most unique sounds in American music.
Let’s look back at the lives and careers of all The Byrds members who have sadly died…
