WSR Detailed DVD Review
B.B. King: Live By Request
Genre: Stage Performance
Reviewed In Issue 83 (Apr 2004) Of Widescreen Review®
Stars:
B.B. King, Riley B. King, James Toney, Charles Dennis, Reginal Richards, Calep Emphrey, Jr., James Bolden, Stanley Abernathy, Melvin Jackson, Walter King & Jeff Beck (Hosted By Mark McEwen)
DVD Picture:
Though not anamorphically enhanced (or labeled as being widescreen on the jacket), the 1.78:1-framed DVD picture looks quite good. Colors are rich and well balanced and shots of King and the performers on stage are nicely presented with full saturation. While finer details can appear a bit soft, sharpness is really not too bad. Of course, there are aliasing problems, like on the guitar strings and stage details that create a shimmering distraction. Overall, this is a very pleasing picture for a DVD that lacks the superior resolution of anamorphic processing. (Suzanne Hodges)
