This is an interesting article. The only time I have ever seen Doc perform live (I got to meet him backstage too!) was with the Denver symphony. However, if I recall correctly, I wouldn't exactly blame the lack of attendance on the fact that Doc has conducted basically the same show for 3 years. Denver has had problems keeping the cash flow going more than once if memory serves me correctly.
Anyway, now that Doc is going to move on to other things, maybe we'll see him out here appearing as a guest with either the National or Baltimore symphonies, or with his big band.
