The show was taped from the upper ranks off Adam's side, approximately at the tip of the FOS barreer. The camera is handheld and a bit shaky (sometimes it turns into very shaky) but hardly loses focus, with the exception of the first minutes until the taper is set and the video gives you a vertigo (how appropriate...). Even though the camera is in some distance to the stage, the picture is very good. The shapes could use a bit more definition to be excellent but the colours are always crisp. Unfortunately, the view is obstructed by the heads and arms of the guys in front of the camera on some angles, forcing the taper to zoom out or fix certain points of the stage. The taper zooms mostly in on Bono, ignoring the other three lads most of the time. "With Or Without You" features mostly shots from the LED-screens above the PA stacks since the taper has no clear view to the stage anymore.

The DVD is not authored resulting in arbitrary track divisions. Also, the concert is split into multiple chapters with choppy divisions.

Audio quality is good to very good. The sound is crsip and clear, only audience noise is a bit loud at times when all the guys around the taper start to clap and along. Also, the echo present in the venue is audible
