      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The Who And Special Guests perform a benefit concert for Teenage Cancer Trust Live At Royal Albert Hall.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits a sharp and detailed stage performance. Colors are rich and well balanced, with deep blacks backgrounds. The fog and stage lighting provide an atmospheric softness that is appropriate. There are occasional instances in which some pixelization is noticed or aliasing problems occur, but otherwise fans should be thrilled. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The multichannel sonic presentations fully engage and energize the soundstage, and despite being live performance recordings and tending to sound

    Reason #12 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I started with the Ultimate Widescreen DVD Movie Guide and haven’t missed an issue since. I thought it would be nice to have a good resource for DVD reviews, but it’s turned into so much more. It’s to the point where if I don't see certain segments in the mag (new products, one installer, etc.), I feel a little disappointed. Please keep up the great work.
