The show was taped from the ranks at the back of the arena, off Adam's stage side. The camera is stable and, as far as I scanned the recording, no heads or hands obstruct the view. The taper mixes stage totals as well as close-ups on all individual band members with flawless changes. Unfortunately, when he zooms in on an individual band member, the shapes become slightly blurry and appear not as crisp and sharp as in the stage total shots. But still, this is only a minor drawback, compared to other video bootlegs. The audio quality is very good to excellent. This DVD is a real pleasure to watch, considering the excellent quality and the extraordinary setlist U2 played this evening.
