Comment
The Byrds 20th Anniv. Tribute show, FLYING BURRITO BROS.,The Byrds 201th Anniv. Tribute Band

In 1984, Gene Clark approached McGuinn, Crosby, and Hillman in an attempt to reform the Byrds in time for the 20th anniversary of the release of the "Mr. Tambourine Man" single in 1985. None of these three original members were interested in the venture and so Clark instead assembled a group of musicians and friends, including Rick Roberts, Blondie Chaplin, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, and the ex-Byrds Michael Clarke and John York, under the banner of "The 20th Anniversary Tribute to The Byrds" and began performing on the lucrative nostalgia circuit in early 1985 A number of concert promoters began to shorten the band's name to The Byrds in advertisements and promotional material. As the band continued to tour throughout 1985, they eventually decided to shorten their name to the Byrds themselves, prompting McGuinn, Crosby and Hillman to berate the tribute group in interviews, with McGuinn deriding the act as "a cheap show."

Live archive release of a 1985 show featuring original Byrds members Gene Clarke and Michael Clark, who are joined by various ex-Byrds such as Skip Battin, a couple of Flying Burrito Brothers and friends such as Rick Danko and Blondie Chaplin. The set was recorded at the University Of Arizona, April 1985, it is not the much bootlegged "Star For Every Stage" show from Evansville, IN, recorded in May the same year. Unofficially released in May 2011 on the UK label Flustered Ducks Productions.
