      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Live At Slane Castle on August 26th, 2000, but performing like he

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD (the jacket provides no picture format details) offers this concert in both color shots of the stage and crowd, and poor-quality black-and-white from the cameras in the audience. The picture is generally sharp, but fine detail and definition are wanting. Color fidelity can be quite natural, with accurate fleshtones and undefined blacks. At times, hues appear a bit oversaturated. Aliasing problems and shimmering details are noticed at times. There is a considerable amount of noise and grain noticed, giving the picture a rough, raw appearance. Still, the DVD is about the music, not the picture, so fans should not be disappointed.

    Reason #60 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I feel the picture/sound reviews are very accurate. The reference systems are awesome. The WSR staff is knowledgeable and friendly. The on-line version of the magazine is a great reference tool. It is the most technically advanced home theatre magazine out there. If you consider yourself a serious home theatre buff, you should subscribe! It doesn't get anymore cutting edge than your Reference Holosonic Home Theatre Laboratory. Gary Reber has the coolest job on the planet!
