 Following the reunion of 1972 / 1973 , the Byrds remained disbanded throughout the rest of the decade . Roger McGuinn turned his attention to establishing his own career , releasing a series of solo albums between 1973 and 1977 , and making a high @-@ profile appearance with Bob Dylan 's Rolling Thunder Revue . Chris Hillman worked as part of the Souther – Hillman – Furay Band following the Byrds reunion and released a pair of solo albums entitled Slippin ' Away and Clear Sailin ' in 1976 and 1977 respectively . David Crosby returned to the supergroup Crosby , Stills , Nash & Young for their 1974 tour and subsequently continued to produce albums with Graham Nash . He also took part in a 1977 reunion of Crosby , Stills & Nash , which saw the group release their multi @-@ platinum selling CSN album . Michael Clarke also found success following the Byrds reunion as the drummer for soft rock group Firefall , while Gene Clark returned to his solo career , producing the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful albums No Other ( 1974 ) and Two Sides to Every Story ( 1977 ) . In addition , between 1977 and 1980 , McGuinn , Clark and Hillman worked on and off together as a trio , modeled after Crosby , Stills , Nash & Young and , to a lesser extent , the Eagles .

The trio toured internationally and recorded the albums McGuinn , Clark & Hillman and City . Clark departed the group in late 1979 , resulting in a third and final album being billed as McGuinn @-@ Hillman .
