Roger McGuinn - 1989-03-05 - Westboro MA (SBD)

In January 1989, Roger McGuinn, David Crosby and Chris Hillman reunited to tour as The Byrds. Their motivation, however, was not musical, but rather legal and financial. Another former Byrd, Michael Clarke, has been touring the country using the Byrds name, and had even applied for a trademark. To counter Clarke, the trio also applied to trademark the name The Byrds, filed a lawsuit gains Clarke citing deceptive business practices, and used the tour to demonstrate they had not surrendered the use of the name The Byrds to anyone else. While the trio's tour was a resounding musical success, it failed to convince the court to side in their favor, as Clarke gained complete ownership of the name The Byrds.  The reunion also didn't last long, as within a few months, McGuinn was back on the road again by himself,  This soundboard recording captures him in Westboro onMarch 5, 1989, 42 years ago today.
