The DLR Cast

Heard you missed them and they're back! Darren and Steve return and discuss all-things Dave in 2025 - his return to live performances, the band, the possibilities of more than one new tour date in 2026, things to be thankful for, and hopes for the new year. Plus, sidebars into KISS, Rodney, pro-wrestling and more!  

But wait, there's more!

Several times a month Steve talks to up-and-coming musicians the relatively new Another Cool Rock Podcast

Dave's 2025 tour has ended and now, the traditional airing of the grievances! A lot of what Darren and Steve have opined on before, and more; Dave announces that "winter tour dates" will be announced soon, hits and setlist misses, making and losing money, RIP the great Ace Frehley, and its all come down to the fact that it really is what it is, when it comes to DLR.

Steve and Darren live as the "2025 Roth Show" tour continues, and Darren tells the tales of his now seeing FIVE David Lee Roth concerts, the most recent shows being St. Louis & Pennsylvania. The good, great, the bad, the fun and....Indiana. Set-list changes, some vocal analysis and much more. Bottom line: Dave is having fun, the band is 🔥, the stuff on You Tube is NOT indicative of the crowd's energy.

Plus, Darren’s recent guest spot on Dave & Dave Unchained with Dave Criblez 🔥, and, no tour promotion and no merch - Steve designs the tour shirt that should be for sale. As always, the latest DLR news & rumors — discussed fair, balanced & as positive as possible!

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!

Darren and Steve debate, discuss and dive into the first few dates of David Lee Roth's tour, the good and not so good, from the vocals to the setlist to attendance and more.

Plus, Darren's upcoming three DLR shows, will there be more dates after this first leg, and where?

Also, more Van Halen bootlegs are showing up again, Happy Gilmore, and the wonderful Black Sabbath/Ozzy tribute concert is exactly how a Van Halen tribute concert could've/should've been.
