Until I went to Austin I didn't know they were the "live music capital

of the world" - That being said with all of the hype surrounding the Miami GP (especially down here where I live) I was expecting Super Bowl level artists and performances down here, but that did not happen. Also in Miami the stages were small, you had to have a special ticket to see any particular stage and the sound systems were suspect. Austin had one large stage and ANYONE with a race pass (from the most expensive ticket to GA) was allowed to participate in the concerts. The shows in Austin were also after the day of racing was done - where in Miami the acts were in between practices and lower level races so the acts in Miami were very rushed in comparison to Austin where the artists had time to preform and put on a show. So it was to my surprise how well the music was presented at Austin.
