      WSR Narrative Review
    Special Notes:
    Jacket erroneously indicates DVD includes a DTS soundtrack. The disc includes Dolby Digital 5.1 and 2.0.

    Story Synopsis:
    Sultry soul singer Sade is simply suave as she sings

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD (not credited on jacket) concert performance is somewhat soft under the stage lighting, with shots of the full stage appearing somewhat smeared and undefined. Colors are nicely rendered, with rich colors and natural flesthones, as well as deep, engulfing blacks. Minor pixelization and shimmering details are noticed. Fans of Sade should be pleased, if not by the picture, by her performance. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The DVD back cover shows a DTS

    Reason #125 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review for the up-to-date info on HDTV, HDTV recording, projector reviews, HDTV receiver reviews (though those are few!), amplifier, and pre-amp reviews, and, of course, DVD/D-VHS movie reviews! I respect most about your writing the total honesty in your reviews. Supplying the most truthful opinions and facts mark you as one of the best in your field!
