Live Music Q2 2018

LCD Soundsystem at the Greek Theater

This was the first year in a long time that I missed Coachella. I don't regret sitting it out this year, even with Beyonce, given the swelled capacity of the event. I also appreciated YouTube's livestream for the first time, catching David Byrne, Soulwax, St. Vincent, and yes, Beyonce.

But here are the shows I did manage to catch over these three months (favorites in bold), which bring my total up to 20. It seems I'm setting a quick pace toward overshooting my annual minimum goal of 26!
