      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Live from Amsterdam during their 2001 tour,

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD offers a concert performance that is quite satisfying. Under the stage lighting, images can appear to be lacking in definition at times, but generally the picture is sharp. Colors are well balanced, with accurate fleshtones, vibrant hues, and deep blacks. Minor aliasing problems are occasionally noticed on violin and guitar strings. The smoke blowing across the stage is quite smooth, only occasionally appearing pixelized. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The multichannel audio presentations are both quite impressive in terms of fidelity and sheer immersion through aggressive surround envelopment. There is no .1 LFE content, and the center channel seems to be reserved for Jon Anderson's vocals. Still, rather notable deep bass can be noticed in both the front and surround channels. The DTS

    Reason #91 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I need a magazine at dose and not a sugar coat approach to reviews. I need a magazine that is not bias or a sell-out. And Widescreen Review is my winner. I am a 23-year old audiophile that likes to stay in the know and up to date on what’s new and what’s hot. I can't do that with a magazine that says every single review is a good one, like other mags out there that will be left name-less. The Sound And Vision of a product is important, but don’t sell-out to make a buck, and those people out there are the ones who think that Gateway makes a good plasma. Keep up the good work. I love the mag.
