KAABOO
The second annual KAABOO festival in Del Mar, CA, offered an intriguing, if not scattered lineup. I was skeptical before going, given that last year’s festival was such an amazing surprise of a lineup. This year’s headliners included Jimmy Buffett, Aerosmith, Fall Out Boy, and Jack Johnson.

From large arenas to small venues, here is a list (in no particular order) of my favorite live shows from 2014 (Yes, I realized I left off The War on Drugs, Tom Petty, Death Cab, and the Arctic Monkeys. I didn’t say this list was EASY. They were great also.) 1) The Black Keys (Viejas…
