 Following the release of Farther Along , the Byrds continued to tour throughout 1972 , but no new album or single release was forthcoming . In July of that year , Gene Parsons was fired from the group for a number of reasons , including McGuinn 's growing dissatisfaction with his drumming , disagreements that he and McGuinn were having over band members ' pay , and his own discontent over the band 's lack of morale during this period . Parsons was quickly replaced with L.A. session drummer John Guerin , who remained with the Byrds until January 1973 , when he decided to return to studio work . Although Guerin participated in recording sessions with the band and appeared on stage with them from September 1972 , he was never an official member of the Byrds and instead received a standard session musician 's wage , while continuing to undertake work for other artists as an in @-@ demand studio player . Three officially released Byrds recordings exist of the McGuinn – White – Battin – Guerin line @-@ up : live versions of " Mr. Tambourine Man " and " Roll Over Beethoven " that were recorded for the soundtrack of the Earl Scruggs ' film <unk> , and a studio recording of " Bag Full of Money " that was included as a bonus track on the remastered reissue of Farther Along in 2000 .
