In an accompanying interview, Rock Band's senior artist Peter McDonald explains that the fancy venues provide not only bigger crowds, but also more spectacular stage effects and sophisticated camera work (read: "crazy crane shots"). Have a look for yourself at places like "Heebie Jeebie's," "Empire Square Garden" and "The Snake Pit" by clicking that Read link.

aren't there supposed to be like 50 venues? that's crazy, esp considering they don't affect anything but graphics, and you're too busy looking at notes to notice the background
plus they can't beat stonehenge :p

They look nice (wonder about the crowd animation though) hahaha The Echo... though one hasn't lived until they've been to 'The Smell'
