Live Music Q2 2014

Only half the year gone, and already I've made it to 26 shows. And that's even counting Coachella as three, rather than the 22 sets I saw this year (my sixth Coachella). That means I've met my annual target in 6 months! At this rate, 2014 could be a record breaker for me. Favorites in bold, as usual.

• Neil Finn, Midlake
• Broun Fellinis, The Afro Funk Experience
• Brad Mehldau Trio
• Coachella Day One: HAIM, Neko Case, Broken Bells, The Replacements, The Knife, OutKast.
• Coachella Day Two: Skrillex, Mogwai, Sleigh Bells, Lorde, Warpaint, The Head and the Heart, CHVRCHES, White Lies, Graveyard.
• Coachella Day Three: Arcade Fire, Daughter, Neutral Milk Hotel, Blood Orange, Classixx, Courtney Barnett, Bombino.
• The National
• SF Symphony: Koopman conducts Bach
