Austin's Live Music

We all know that Austin is the live music capital of the world, but I've always wondered just how big it is in the world of live music. Sure we have some venues like Antones, The Erwin Center, and Stubbs that are popular. Many famous musicians have come from Austin such as Robert Earl Keen, Eric Johnson, The Bright Light Social Hour, Ben Kweller, and What Made Milwaukee Famous. There are so many more. Austin has produced some great musicians but how famous is its live music? I suppose I don't have anything to compare it to since I've lived here my whole life and I haven't been anywhere else for long enough to know its live music. I know that there are always live shows to go see and many great bands playing, but I don't think bands are waiting in a line out the door to book venues in Austin. This is just a guess and I could be completely wrong. I guess what I'm saying is if we are the live music capital of the world, then I'm a little worried for live music in general.
