The show was taped from a lower rank off Adam's side of the stage. The camera is stable, indicating the use of a tripod. The view is quite frequently obstructed by heads or raised arms. The quality of the picture is fair to good. The colours are a bit blurry, the shapes are not very sharp, so that you see the faces as a white circle, for example. The taper focuses the camera on Bono most of the time, sometimes zooming out for a stage total.

The soundtrack is of very good quality but not exactly in synch with the action on video. The sound was most likely dubbed over using one of the many audience recordings floating around from this concert.
