Photo Gallery
The show was taped from the upper ranks off Adam's stage side. The distance of the camera to the stage is quite large, which makes the band mmebers appear tiny, even in the close ups. The colours are crisp and the shapes defined as long as the taper does not zoom in. In close-up shots, the shapes become fuzzy and grainy to some extent. The camera is handheld and gets sometimes a bit too shaky but usually is in focus. The view is usually clear but during the zoomed out shots, a few heads or hands appear in the corners of the picture during the clap-along parts.
The taper provides a good mixture of stage totals and zoomed takes, so you get a good impression of the stage action. However, the close-ups are not really close (the LED-monitors over the stacks are used quite frequently to fill this gap). Also a plus, IMHO, is the scans of the audience during some songs to get the impression of the athmosphere (especially durin "New Year's Day").
The audio quality is good to very good. The people standing close to the taper can be heard clapping along clearly but it never gets too intrusive to drown out the music. Some stray conversations can be heard, too, mostly between the songs.
"Running To Stand Still" and most of "Yahweh" are not included in the original recording but attached as bonus tracks from a different source (lower rank off Edge's side). These videos have a significantly lower quality than the other tracks. "All because Of You" misses completely.
