      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Thousands of rabid U2 fans who are present at Slane Castle Ireland on September 12, 2001, go over the edge as frontman Bono belts out classic favorites like

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD concert performance offers a gritty picture with lots of blown-out images under bright stage lighting in contrast with the deep, undefined blacks. Depending on the source camera, the picture can be sharp and detailed, muddy and undefined, or somewhere in between. Colors are nicely saturated. Some aliasing problems are noticed, with occasional shimmering details, and there is occasional pixelization. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The 5.1-channel audio is a remarkable production. Fidelity is impressive, and the surround music presentation is quite exemplary for a large-venue performance recording. The soundstage is fully and energetically engaged throughout. The surrounds serve to provide for some sense of spatial ambience, while the center channel is devoted mostly to Bono

    Reason #52 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    The DVD reviews are very informative. I especially like the detailed specification information available for both the DVD and the theatrical release of movies. The recent news features are often quite interesting to an amateur audiophile like myself.
