      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:


    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture offers a slick-looking concert performance, with rich colors that pop from the screen. Images can be quite sharp and clean, though a few camera angles can appear a bit soft or smeared. As the sun goes down at the venue, the bright stage lighting pierces through a completely blackened background. This is a surprisingly good looking concert performance and will definitely please fans of of the Chili Peppers. There are a few distractions, however, including some shimmering stage and instrument details and some edge enhancement noticed in higher contrast areas. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The sometimes brash, but very musical and involving, sound of the Red Hot Chili Peppers comes across with impressive fidelity and neutral tonality, in both Dolby

    Reason #65 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it is an informative source on A/V equipment and entertainment. The many excellent reviews on DVDs (and Laser Discs, back in the day), as well as surround music, have led me to some real gems!
