The show was taped from the ranks off Adam's side of the stage. The quality of the video is tremendous, compared to the other audience shots from the Joshau Tree tour. Colours and shapes are absolutely crisp and clear. The faces appear gleamy only to a minimal extent when the spotlights hit them. A drawback, though, is that quite often either a hand or a head is in the way, obstructing at least partly the view on the stage. The camera is at times a bit shaky (definetly handheld) but stays in focus most of the time. The audio quality is also marred by a distorted high end, most likely due to missing volume adjustment at the recording device (video-cam?). The track division are not adjusted to the beginning and end of the songs.
