      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Since their 1975 debut album, sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson have been writing and performing their music along with their band, Heart. Live from their hometown, "Heart: Alive In Seattle" is something not to be missed. The "Wild Child" isn't "Alone" on stage but is accompanied by her "Sister Wild Rose" and the rest of the band. The "Magic Man" joins in to bring their audience a little piece of "Heaven," and it's obvious that the "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters" in the crowd are "Crazy on You" girls! (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture offers a stage performance that is perfectly capable of satisfying longtime fans of Heart. Colors are eye-popping with the deep blue curtain draped in the background and vibrant red and green lava lamps and stage lighting.

    Reason #54 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I love WSR because I always seem to find out information on new technology or new products in your magazine first. Sometimes I find out as much as two issues in front of other publications. I also like the fact that you are not scared of technical articles, such as the video calibration article and the Digital Video Essential article, which goes into much depth and does not just skim the surface like many other publications seem to do. I like the articles, and I always skim forward to the end of the mag to read the new DVDs scheduled for release. I enjoy the mag very much! Keep it coming!
