25. The end
The show was taped from the ranks in the back of the stadium. The distance of the camera to the stage is considerable, so that the "close-ups" are very fuzzy and grainy. The shapes lack some definition anyway and the colours are only brilliant when the camera is not using the maximum zoom. The camera is probably handheld and makes a lot of abrupt shakes. The view to the stage is usually clear but hands or heads pop into the picture on a couple of occasions (especially in the beginning). The taper tries too often to zoom in which results in a picture of minor quality. On the plus side, the GA audience can be seen quite often, so you get a vivid impression of the athmosphere at U2's first hometown gig.
"Vertigo" misses the first half of the song with the recording sequeing into the song for the first chorus.
The audio quality is only fair too good. The high end is distorted, probably due to an inferior setup used for the recording.
