The video was taped from the ground (the venue was an airfield), in central position, at the height of the B-stage. As you can expect from the camera position, there are a lot of hands and heads in the way. The taper tries to catch the whole stage action by zooming in and out a lot but has problems to catch a lot main stage close ups due to the position. The video quality suffers from a distorsion in the center of the picture. Also, the colours are not absolutely crisp and sharpness is missing to some extent. However, as soon as the band members are on the B-stage or the catwalk, some really nice close-up shots are caught. Unfortunately, the taper decides to film the main stage during Edge's karaoke part instead of focussing on the crooning guitar man.
The audio quality is fair to good.
