 On January 16 , 1991 , the five original members of the Byrds put aside their differences to appear together at the Waldorf @-@ Astoria Hotel in New York City for their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . The ceremony honored the original line @-@ up of Roger McGuinn , Gene Clark , David Crosby , Chris Hillman , and Michael Clarke , while later configurations of the group featuring such key personnel as Gram Parsons and Clarence White were quietly passed over . The occasion , which saw the band come together on stage to perform the songs " Turn ! Turn ! Turn ! ( to Everything There Is a Season ) " , " Mr. Tambourine Man " , and " I 'll Feel a Whole Lot Better " , represented the first time that all five original Byrds had stood together since 1973 . Unfortunately , it would also represent the last time that the five original members were gathered together . Clark died later that year of heart failure , and on December 19 , 1993 , Clarke succumbed to liver disease brought on by alcoholism .
