What do you mean is? They already have and ARE!
I hope they continue to roll with this lineup and continue to find adventure and pleasure in their explorations.

This band throws out gems and clunkers, just like the GD did.

I've seen a few shows that excelled and I've listened to a few jams hit the skids like they'd never played together before.

Why stop when the music is this good? It can only get better. Heres to a long future!

I would be amazed and saddened if they didn't.

It's all subjective, but this band is my favorite post-Jerry way to hear, see, and feel Grateful Dead music.

as long as people are buying tickets they'll keep playing

I can't see why they would do anything else. Both Phil and Bob seem really happy and they are making great (even new!) music together. I'm pretty sure too that they have scheduled shows in October and the old contract ended in September.

I think Furthur is going to be around for a while! No expert, inside analysis here, just old fashioned deadhead intuition! You can feel the happiness from the band and crowd at the shows. No one wants to cut that short!
