Forum MVP robeatondso Posted May 26, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Rob sent this note to us tonight regarding his work on DSO downloads. This is sad news to us. From Rob Eaton Due to the nature of living on the road in close quarters. It's come to my attention that the time I'm spending working on mastering DSO shows on the bus is causing some on the bus a huge hardship. Since it's not my intention to be the burden to others more then I already am I am resigning from my job of mastering and archiving DSO shows. I don't know if someone will pick up the slack but I can no longer be the brunt of another's displeasure with process of making it all happen.... Peace to all the DSO fans who appreciated what I was trying to do. Take Care Rob Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted May 26, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I'm sorry to hear that. I can definitely understand that you tirelessly working over the audio at night can disturb others. Maybe you could master the recordings at home after tour? I know many still want them but also understand you were meeting the demands of fans that wanted the shows avail right a way. Either way I hope your sounds continue to make it to CD. Thank you for all you've done and all you will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted May 27, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I know I've downloaded around 30 shows myself in the last few years. These have been some of the best sounding boards I've ever heard from any band. I hope that you will continue to upload major events like jubilee and other stellar shows as it's so great to relive the experience, but I can see that daily uploads is very time consuming.

Pete Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 It's a shame but I understand. I'm amazed you've been able to keep it up this long, given the energy that goes into playing the shows and the energy that must go into mastering them. Maintaining healthy relationships in the band is very important and tour buses are very small places for a large number of people. I'm always happy to buy a show if I enjoyed it and I will do so again if any more make it up, but for now all I can say is thank you Mr. Eaton for all you've done for us.

Forum MVP gr8fulpair Posted May 27, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Rob, anything we get after the 4hrs on stage is a cherry on top of the best musical experience one can buy. The average live musical experience today cost at least twice as much and lasts half as long. If not archiving the shows creates peace and harmony among the band, then I think that's what the fans would want more than anything. Very cool of you to give up something we know you love to make others happy. Thanks for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP HelpSlip Posted May 27, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 so the only place to master Dso shows is on the road in between shows? that i dont get.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombellanca Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Sad news to my ears. I have been loving the downloads. Hopefully the resignation was a moment of emotion and some alternatives can be explored. I can easily see having the show available within a day or two could easily create some hassle, lower the bar a bit and just work on getting em out as you can- even if it take a few weeks. Or at the least try and release the gold mine shows (which for DSO is just about every darn one :D ) Thanks so much for all you and the DSO team does!!!

Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted May 27, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 sounds like it's time to break out the D5 and 460's, FYI, the Peter Rowan set in cincy on Jubilee Sunday was sweet, loved that violin player from the Osbourne Brothers he had and I guess he had Bob Dylan's drummer, off to the John Hartford fest tonight....

FestyFix Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 That's a real bummer to hear, but I totally respect the decision and understand that keeping the band happy & healthy is priority number one. I really do love the downloads, and hopefully the shows still somehow make it out to the public whether it's after tour or someone else doing the work. If the band's willing to hire I know some graduates from the Sound Recording Tech program at UMass who would likely be interested in the task Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP cm_hayden Posted May 28, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Here's a thought, how about Charlie Miller taking over Rob's duties. It would be good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tide Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Well this announcement makes me very sad. Especially just learning of the news after a particularly wonderful Friday night at Hampton Beach. All the way home I was looking forward to listening to the show again many times over. I see more recent shows through Boston have been released. One more in the tank possible? Thank you in advance! And in the future, per a comment above, maybe select releases of the epic shows (although this could still be a lot!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted June 8, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 So far this hasn't taken effect and I've noticed that DSO shows are pretty much always in the most recently downloads and the cap theater one was top 10 most downloaded!!!! Hopefully sales will keep picking up to where financially they keep releasing every show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
