as far as a LIVE music capital, it's austin.
as far as selling more records and bigger pop names, it's NYC and LA.
Phish, the most successful touring act of the past 30 years, has headlined Madison Square Garden 15+ times- including NYE 1995,1997,1998,2002,2010,2011,and 2012.

Well one of the largest grossing and followed live bands in the last 3 decades has played in Austin like once in 10+ years, and sells out NYC's biggest venue (which is bigger and more famous than any venue in Austin about a million times over) on the biggest night for live music in the year
That has to count for something, atleast as a good example of heady's argument

What's appealing about ATX isn't necessarily the historic or big venues but rather the number of shows per night. May not always been huge artists but its hard to walk around Austin on any given night and not hear several live music acts
But the answer is NYC

Yea..you werent arguing per capita. You were saying Austin had more venues PERIOD than NYC. Unfortunately, I left the phistards to take care of this argument while I was out tonight so needless to say it failed miserably on their behalf. My apologies to you.
