The show was taped from a lower rank off Adam's stage side, approximately located at the height of the B-stages. The camera is handheld but quite stable. Only on a very few occasions, a head or a hand partly  obstructs the view.

The taper provides mostly the main stage in different zooms as well as close-ups like Bono's shoe change during "I Will Follow" or whenever one of the guys walks onto the catwalk. The colours and shapes are crisp and defined. The taper loses the focus once in a while but manages every time to zoom in on the band again very rapidly. The close-up shots are clear and defined but cannot provide too many details due to the great distance to the stage. Another flaw worth mentioning is a number of drop-outs/glitches of audio and video all over the concert. Vertigo is cut after the third chorus. Audio quality is very good.
