      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    On the road for the first time since the 1999 Lilith Tour, "Sarah McLachlan" performs at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, Canada; one of the stops on her "Afterglow Live" tour. Her first album in seven years, Sarah sings such favorites as "I Will Remember You," "Building A Mystery," and "Ice Cream." Hopefully, she won't stay away as long this time; this DVD and the bonus CD are certain to make you want more! (Tricia Littrell)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture looks quite good, with images that are often sharp and nicely detailed depending on the source camera. Some shots are gritty and undefined. Colors are well-balanced with the moody stage lighting piercing through a deep black background. Some shimmering details are noticed at times. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Vocals in this Dolby

    Reason #36 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I read Widescreen Review because it’s simply the best A/V magazine available. No other magazine includes such a comprehensive discussion of developments and potential developments in the field, as well as a detailed analysis of systems and products available. Widescreen Review provides thorough and easy-to-follow “how to” sections in building and setting up home theatre and is the definitive authority on quality DVDs. No other magazine can beat all that. Kudos to Widescreen Review! I will never stop my subscription.
