The show was taped from a lower rank off Adam's side of the stage. The camera is handheld and, hence, a bit shaky. On a few occasions an arm from the guy in front of the taper is in the way. A big drawback of the recording is the distance to the stage. You can see the stage from the bottom to the lightnig rig and, therefore, the band members appear quite small. Due to the ankle of the camera and the covered stage sides, you can see U2's front line only. The drumkit is never visible. The taper rarely zooms in or out. Shapes are not very defined and the band members appear gleamy, so that you are never able to detect any details, even when Bono walks down the side aisles of the stage and comes closer to the camera.

The sudio quality is fair to good. A hiss is audible in the background as well as screams and hollers from people close to the taper. Overall, the sound is clear but could be a bit crisper.
