The Byrds – AT&T Showcase Of Rock – Unistar – The Byrds
A 3-LP set sent to radio stations for broadcasting in the weekend of 15-17 March 1991
A 3-hour program
The LPs are as follows (not sure I understand the logics):
Disc 1:
Side A = Hour 1 part 1
Side B = Hour 2 part 2
Disc 2:
Side A = Hour 2 part 1
Side B = Hour 3 part 2
Disc 3:
Side A = Hour 1 part 2
Side B = Hour 3 part 1
I have put the whole 3-hour program in the chronological order.
Each hour is divided into 5 segments, so what you have in this zip file is 15 audio segments, with images of front and back of the sleeve, 6 labels and 4 sheets.
The whole thing is presented here as it was broadcast, including spoken parts by host Ed Sciaky + Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, David Crosby and Chris Hillman interviews + Byrds songs + Crosby, Stills & Nash songs + Souther, Hillman & Furay song + McGuinn, Clark & Hillman songs + Roger McGuinn songs + Commercials + station IDs + silent spots to insert local ads.
Strangely, the song “Wasn’t Born To Follow” and its intro by the host aren’t mentioned on the paper sheet. They’re just between the David Crosby interview and the closing by the host at the end of Hour 1.
See images of the sheets for details.

I've listened to the first two hours of this program and it's interesting for its choice of songs and omissions. The Byrds' debt to Dylan is quite clear in both segments, and practically every Dylan song by the Byrds is included, even Nothing Was Delivered. The interviews were also quite useful--Gene Clark's especially, since his songs got so little time. And the inclusion of later songs by the Clarence White versions of the Byrds was also good. However, one would think from these segments that Roger McGuinn was the only lead singer of the Byrds and the principal writer for the group (apart from Dylan). Gene Clark's contributions on the first album are reduced to I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better, and nothing from the second album is mentioned. Poor Gene. Crosby's contributions/collaborations on 5D and Younger than Yesterday are not mentioned at all, not even something so beautiful as Everyone's Been Burned and Renaissance Fair. Chris Hillman gets mention as a co-writer of Rock and Roll Star but his other contributions are ignored. And Younger Than Yesterday was largely influenced by his songwriting, which hadn't even been noticed before. Sweetheart of the Rodeo got the attention it deserved, including a pair of Gram Parsons solos. As for the later Byrds, only Clarence White is mentioned to any extent, and no songs by other members were included, which increases the impression that they weren't really the Byrds. So in general, I felt that the program missed an opportunity to showcase all the members at least to some extent, and instead played it safe by concentrating on Dylan and McGuinn. Nice to hear these programs anyway, and thanks for providing them.
