After the first look at this video boot, I was a bit disappointed because it was shot from an elevated position on the parking lot outside the venue (the Butzweiler Hof is basically an open space with a fence around it). So, you can imagine what you see most of the time: the big screen. The picture is not sharp enough that you can see the band members on the main stage but on the B-stage you see them as tiny ants. The camera is standing on a tripod, so no shakes and, of course, no arms or heads in the way. Video quality is decent, but could have more sharpness and more crispness of the colours. Audio quality is good. The music sounds a bit distant, of course, and a hiss is audible throughout.

Recommendable to fans interested in the video "show" of a Popmart concert.
