The show was taped from the lower ranks off Edge's side of the stage. The camera is stable, only slight movements are detectable when a certain spot is focussed. The view is partly obstructed by a head in the lower left corner when the camera catches the whole main stage. Other than that, clapping hands are visible mostly at the beginning and the end of songs. The colours are somewhat washed out and the shapes could be a bit more defined. It looks like this recording was at least for one generation on an analogue source. But still, you can detect details like the band member's faces to some extent. The track divisions are not according to the songs. The audio quality is good: Clarity and crispness are given to some extent but the high end does not sound clean and there is a good portion of hiss audible in the background. Also, audience noise is a bit intrusive sometimes. Also, the concert is incomplete: "One" fades out during the second verse.
