      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The award-winning PBS television program "Austin City Limits" first premiered in 1976. The "Music Festival 2004" was recorded live on September 17th, 18th, and 19th in Zilker Park, Austin, Texas and is the fourth annual live concert of the series. More than 130 bands performed on eight stages during the event to a daily crowd of 70,000 people. Highlights of the show are featured on this three-disc DVD/CD set, and with such a huge variety of music there's sure to be something for everyone to enjoy. (Tricia Spears)

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture is perfectly suitable for the concert footage. Colors are nicely balanced and well saturated. The picture is generally sharp and nicely textured. A little bit of smearing is occasionally noticed, but overall this is a great looking concert DVD. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    Typical of live performance DVDs, the 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.
