In 2000, Gold compiled a Wax rarities album, "House of Wax on Wax", as well as recording and releasing a new solo album "The Spence Manor Suite;" this last was followed in 2002 by another solo collection, "Intermission". In the early 2000s, he formed a Byrds tribute band, Byrds of a Feather, which performed in the Los Angeles area. He appeared in a 2006 concert with the classic rock group America, and singer-songwriter Stephen Bishop, and the performance was later released as a DVD titled "America And Friends – Live at the Ventura Theater". The show featured Gold performing "Thank You for Being a Friend," "Final Frontier," "Bridge to Your Heart" and "Lonely Boy," as well as accompanying America and Bishop on guitar and vocals. Gold had earlier produced America's "Holiday Harmony" Christmas album back in 2002, wherein he also played most of the instruments and co-wrote the track "Christmas in California."
