    Episode 120: Don't Hate Us, It's Just A Hiatus

    After nearly six years (!) of The DLR Cast, it's time to step back, reflect, and...take a break for a while. Darren and Steve discuss their decision to take a hiatus from the pod- it's not the end, they are not "throwing in the shoes!" When major news happens in the David Lee Roth and Van Halen universe they will return, but after 119 episodes, and sharing the same views, ideas, opinions and frustrations, its time.  Before that, there's lots of shoutouts to friends and supporters, a bit of news, talk about the upcoming DLR tour dates, the shows Darren and Steve will likely attend, the recent Van Halen pre-US Festival soundboard tape on YouTube, Darren's Van Halen-related academic work, and more. Thank you so much for spending time with us!

    Episode 116: "Who's The Show? We The Show!" and Darren Goes To Two Shows!

    The shoes have been thrown...out! The David Lee Roth tour is well underway and Darren reviews the two shows he saw, in Huntington, NY, and Atlantic City, NJ! Him and Steve discuss the positives, the negatives, and everything in between: the band is exceptional, Dave seems to be having a great time; the surprising setlist choices and songs we (and the band?) wish were played (both solo and VH), Dave's interesting vocal choices, and the merits (or not) of the extended versions of "Drop Dead Legs," "Dance The Night Away," and others. Plus, Steve wonders if the shows are getting better as the tour goes on, Darren has got tales of good moods and high spirits, the surprising photo passes and lack of restrictions, and who is running the show...Tom? And a bunch o' Van Halen bootlegs have hit YouTube! Be sure to visit Paltrocast.com to check out Darren's review of the Huntington, NY show and some great concert photos!

    Episode 114: Some Good News: A Little Bit Goes A Long Way

    Steve and Darren discuss some good news around David Lee Roth ahead of the tour starting July 22 as Dave and band have been in seemingly intense rehearsals the last two weeks, and it looks likely the same guys that rocked M3 is intact. Darren figures he'll see at least three shows on this leg of the tour(DLR Cast Meet-Up, anyone?), while Steve, alas, will not be able to. And some speculating and wondering: it would be a great time for any pre-show press, or any content from Dave...plus, revisiting the 90s - Dave was more visible than most folks remember with U.S. &  Europe shows, The DLR Band album, and a lot of promotional activity; Dave gets praise from Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, updates on a bunch o' former Dave band members - new music from former Dave (and Ozzy) guitarist Joe Holmes, Jake Faun, and Frankie Tartufo (?!?) and some talk about the new Van Halen Balance album 30th anniversary package and much more.  Stay on top of everything that Darren has going on with the Paltrocast, at YouTube, TikTok, Substack, Medium and at Paltrocast.com.
