What do performing rights societies do?
Performing rights societies act as clearinghouses for performance rights on behalf of many copyright owners. As a rightsholder, a performing rights society helps you negotiate performance licenses and collect fees; they may also work to connect you with potential licensees.
Do you need to gain rights for music made and copyrighted by other musicians if you are playing it yourself and not using their composition?
To perform it, you would need a performing right, which comes from a performing rights organization such as ASCAP or BMI, and is usually handled by the venue. To record it, you would need a mechanical license, which is most frequently obtained through the Harry Fox Agency. When all is said and done, you still would have no rights to the song; you would just have a license to use it.

Why are ASCAP BMI and SESAC the only performing rights organizations?
They are the only performing rights organizations in the US; there are many more worldwide. It benefits everyone to have as few performing rights organizations as is reasonably possible. Songwriters benefit by having a large collective bargaining position, and licensees benefit by being able to select from hundreds of thousands of tunes under one blanket license. If there were more PROs--say, if each publisher handled their own performing rights--broadcasters and performance venues would need to make agreements with each one individually. The paperwork and fees would be unbearable.
