      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Live From Itchycoo Park in Tennessee, eight Living Legends Of Rock & Roll (as well as not-so-legendary twin sons of legend Ricky Nelson) take you

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is FAR OUT! Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with good definition into the audience and on stage. Colors are rich and vibrant, with a look that makes you feel as if you were there. There are few distractions in the way of pixelization or aliasing, and edge enhancement is generally not a factor. Contrast and shadow delineation are naturally balanced. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1-channel discrete soundtracks feature the typical raw, live concert feel that is expected, along with an aggressively-natured soundfield that should be engrossing and energizing. The DTS

    Reason #105 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Since Issue 5 (my first), I focused on reviews of Laser Discs and now DVDs, and From The Editor's Couch. Also, WSR has a lot of punch in the new equipment features. The technical essays have been superb! My home theatre setup depended (and still depends) on knowledge gained from WSR. WSR has become the media reference for me with regard to picture and sound quality assurance in display equipment and widescreen entertainment (movies, music events, and documentaries). I still do not have Issues 1 through 4 or the Premiere Special Edition of WSR and hope you put them on the subscribers' site eventually, so that I can giggle at some of the early typos and slips (if you leave them in). However, I'm sure that the early editions make for interesting historical reading as well, because I believe WSR has moved the display industry forward through the pushing the envelope attitude of Gary Reber. Carry on.
