This is a two camera pro-shot of the first Popmart show. The first five songs on disc one are filmed by a camera located in the ditch in front of Adam, so most of the time you se U2's bassman at work. If the camera moves around to capture other band members, it is very shaky for a few seconds until the cameraman zooms in again. After that the camera perspective changes and you get the picture of the camera located on a moveable crane close to The Edge. "Do You Feel Loved" is included a second time, now with the new perspective. The quality of the pictures and the sound (most likely a soundboard recording) are very good to excellent. Especially the camera on the crane delivers real cool pictures of the whole concert from different angels as it moves around quite often. There are of course no camera shaking or obstructing arms/heads present and the camera gets real close to the band.
