The show was taped from the upper ranks off Adam's side of the stage. The camera is handheld and sometimes shaky, especially when the taper zooms in to close-ups of a band member the picture gets very shaky and grainy. From time to time an arm or a head obstructs the view in the right half of the picture. The colours are crisp but the shapes could use a bit more definition - it looks like the DVD was made using an analogue source. Audio quality is good to very good. Clarity and crispness are given but an audible hiss is present all the time. Also, a few short dropouts of the sound are detectable. "Gone" fades out close to the end and the following edit kills the first minute of "New York".

Despite the flaws mentioned this is a bootleg you might go for since Bono's father passed away that very morning this concert was played. Bono includes a lot of references to his father's death.
