      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The Who And Special Guests perform a benefit concert for Teenage Cancer Trust Live At Royal Albert Hall.

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits a sharp and detailed stage performance. Colors are rich and well balanced, with deep blacks backgrounds.

    Reason #84 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Let me tell you a story about a man named Mike. Overwhelmed by components, can't believe marketing claims. And then one day while surfing on the net, up came a page with an interesting claim... Knowledge that is. Reference material. Widescreen Review. Well, the first thing you know old Mike's signed up. Getting monthly coverage and in-depth reviews. He thought Widescreen Review is what we all should read. So now I'm reading Joe Kane and spouting ISF calibration, that is. Image quality. SMPTE bars.
