I posted about their shows in St Louis and Covington, Ky, but nobody responded, so I decided to try one more time. I am leaving for St Louis tomorrow and I was wondering if anybody was planning on going to any of their shows. It will be some phenomenal shit, I am sure. At least, if you view this shit, say fuck you I'm not going or whatever, but don't let it go down in flames like the last on did.

I was going to see them in SF, but I was too poor and I had no one to go with.

Yeah, I just found this article on the Hydra site:
Just a slight hint of Dead in Hydra By Steve Hochman, Special to The Times
Anyone expecting '60s grooves from Hydra, a brand-new collaboration of Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart and young Los Angeles quartet Particle, was off by at least a decade at the group's show Sunday at the Henry Fonda Music Box Theatre. Particle, featuring the fluid soloing of keyboardist Steve Molitz and guitarist Charlie Hitchcock over the sturdy foundation of bassist Eric Gould and drummer Darren Pujalet, gets most of its grooves from '70s jazz-funk, with more recent electronic elements added in. With Hart driving things with percussion and electronic devices, the ensemble's almost-entirely instrumental dialogues at their best spanned more eras ? not to mention continents ? with Hart's global ethnomusicologist experience more prominent than his legacy from the Dead. The opening "Stellar Particles" hinted at the potential when Hart used a Kenyan balaphon (a marimba-like instrument) to weave burbling polyrhythms around the band's muscular, if foursquare, approach.
In Sunday's second set, though, the richness of the combinations was fully realized. "The Glow" saw a return of the balaphon sounds as well as samples ranging from white noise to chanting monks, while the following "Luminiferous Ether" found unlikely common ground between Santana and Kraftwerk while building up the propulsion of a runaway train.
This project has perhaps the least connection to Grateful Dead music of any by surviving members since Jerry Garcia's death nearly 10 years ago ? only an instrumental jam on "Fire on the Mountain" (a Dead song co-written by Hart) and a few teasing quotes from other songs. But the dancing Deadheads didn't seem to mind at all.

Sounds sweet. I foolishly gave up the opportunity to see them here in California earlier this month because I on first and second impression, I was a bit put off by the samples they have on their website. Nonetheless, I'm sure it was my loss and the live show was great! I was probably just looking for an excuse not to go, and now I'm kickin' myself for being such a douche!

I'm glad to hear you guys had a good time! I am leaving for St louis in about 4 1/2 hours! I can't wait!! I am not into nitrous, too tough, but it is alright. I much prefer the longer lasting effects of lsd!

Yeah, that shit is crazy. I think what turns me off of gas the most is the majority of the fuckers that are selling it. They are usually shady bastards that I would rather not give my money to, you know? I'll just got buy a case or 2 of whippits and go to town.
