      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Thousands of rabid U2 fans who are present at Slane Castle Ireland on September 12, 2001, go over the edge as frontman Bono belts out classic favorites like

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD concert performance offers a gritty picture with lots of blown-out images under bright stage lighting in contrast with the deep, undefined blacks. Depending on the source camera, the picture can be sharp and detailed, muddy and undefined, or somewhere in between. Colors are nicely saturated. Some aliasing problems are noticed, with occasional shimmering details, and there is occasional pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1-channel audio is a remarkable production. Fidelity is impressive, and the surround music presentation is quite exemplary for a large-venue performance recording. The soundstage is fully and energetically engaged throughout. The surrounds serve to provide for some sense of spatial ambience, while the center channel is devoted mostly to Bono

    Reason #115 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review as my premiere source for the latest in home theatre technology. The articles are extra detailed and packed with detailed information. My theory is the higher level of detail you try to absorb, the more you will actually retain down the road. Kind of like college, where the things you learned in the first two years are engrained because you used the principles over and over again in your last two years
