 To date , the Fred <unk> tribute concert appearance in 2000 represents the last time that the Byrds have performed together . However , Hillman and Crosby have both expressed an interest in working with McGuinn again on future Byrds projects , but the lead guitarist and head Byrd remains adamant that he is not interested in another reunion . During an interview with music journalist John Nork , McGuinn replied " absolutely not , " when asked if he had any plans to revive the Byrds , explaining , " No , I don 't want to do that . I just want to be a solo artist . The Byrds are well documented . I don 't think we need anymore from the Byrds . "
