Do you have any instructions for downloading and playing the episodes on my phone? I have both Spotify and podbean, but neither one can find the files I saved.
You don’t play them through those apps - you play them through the player on the website or from the file you downloaded onto your phone. Check your files or downloads folder on your iPhone.
If you have an Apple phone, use the Safari app to sign into the website. You should have two options for downloading the episodes into your phone: Hi-res or low-res. Hit your choice and the download should appear in the " files " app. I download the low-res version for my phone ( since I'm constantly on the move ) and these downloads sound pretty good, even with earbuds. Hope that helps.
This really nice, clear footage of the 1986 NAMM jam at a club in Chicago with Schon and Entwhistle among others was just posted on YouTube a day ago…Edward is as usual a little or a lot lost as he throws in his stock licks and whammy squeals in a non-Van Halen band context to mixed results. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who has seen his “jam” or guesting footage before, but it’s still good fun to see stuff from when he was at the top of his game and arguably one of the world’s best electric rock guitarists on the planet.
I think it’s a great example of the difference between a player like Neal who is playing to the chord changes versus Ed who most often played his specific licks that worked over riffs in his own songs which would sometimes have an implied chord structure, but are not really related to chord changes per se. Neal does his blues shredding, but comes out of that landing in time and always following the chords with phrasing related to the chords as they cycle. Ed not so much…which is part of why Ed sounded great playing Van Halen music, but improvising, even over blues changes, was not his forte. It’s kind’ve a good problem to have in a way…he was at his best when he was playing his own music with his brother, and the world is richer for it!
All RWTD episodes have been amazing Dweezil! So good, that I keep checking to see if next when is uploaded. No pressure Dweezil :) They are worth another listen so much great content!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to leave a note here for the Van Halen faithful to be sure you head over to the Community Blog section to see the full text of the only interview that Robin “Rudy” Leiren has ever given. Journalist and author Steven Rosen gave me the audio of this full interview with permission to transcribe it to text and share it. Check it out here: https://www.dweezilzappa.com/posts/1989653-for-the-vh-fans-runnin-with-the-dweezil-crowd-rudy-leiren-s-only-interview-done-with-steven-rosen-in-early-1985
