With the intentional mispelling of the Shakespearian name, McBeth formed in 1977 and played throughout the seacoast, from Northern MA to Southern ME .. booked constantly in the 3 yrs we remained together.
McBeth decided to call it quits in 1979, when James' first daughter was born and he believed (erroneously) that he needed to be a responsible adult.
With a stellar lineup of 2 lead guitarists, switching off for the sound that best suited the song, Rick Stotler (with his Les Paul for that warm dual humbucker sound ) and Vic Love (with his Rockin Strat) made for a quite enjoyable mix.
The original drummer Dean Irons (Beannie) left in 78 to pursue a more solid lifestyle, with wife and mortgage, and was replaced by a drummer James played with since high school, named Mike Devanna.
Regretfully, McBeth never got around to any originals and, to date, no one has come forward with any recorded shows.
