This is a 2-cam mix of the Popmart concert in Paris. Both cameras are located at the back of the arena, in quite some distance to the stage. One is off Adam's side, on off Edge's side of the stage. The one on Edge's side is a bit closer to the stage and zooms in on Bono most of the time. It is a bit shaky and the shapes are not very defined but no heads or hands are in the way and it rarely shakes so wildly that it completely loses focus. The colours are not hundred percent defined and crisp.

The other camera is mostly used to shoot stage totals. It is quite stably held but one PA-tower, located behind the mixing desk is obstructing the view on the stage and when it zooms out completely, the heads of the people in front can be seen. The mixing of both sources is done very professionally and provides nicely alternating perspectives. Main problem is the large distance to the stage  since all zooms on Bono and the other band members are not very close up.

The audio quality is good to very good. It misses the low end to some extent but has a very good clarity.
