  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
A real love survives a Rock Steady vibe. No Doubt gets the crowded Long Beach Arena feelin

DVD Picture:
The DVD exhibits a non-anamorphic concert performance (framed in a barely-widescreen 1.55:1 ratio) that offers generally satisfying picture for fans of No Doubt. Those close-up shots of Gwen Stefani can sometimes appear nicely detailed. Depending on the camera angle, some scenes are very blurry and undefined. Colors are nicely balanced, with bright stage lighting, satisfying saturation, and deep blacks. There are occasional aliasing problems and shimmering details. Edge enhancement is not a problem.
