Comments
(from Angelo C.):
I filmed the concert. The master i have is damaged, so i made this DVD from the
VHS.
NOTE (from Justin Cook): Filmed from in the stands on the right side (Adam's side) of the arena at an approximately 60 degree angle from the stage. Video quality is slightly below average for audience-shot footage from the Elevation Tour. There are plenty of obstructions during "Elevation", and the taper has a lot of trouble holding the camera still throughout this song as well. Once the people around him stop jumping up and down -- at the beginning of "Beautiful Day" -- the footage becomes a bit more stable but is still not quite shaky. The footage is exclusively wide angle, with some shots being a bit tighter than the rest but nothing approaching a true closeup. Most of the footage is of tne middle and left side of the stage, so get ready to see plenty of Bono and the Edge...and not much of Larry and Adam. The sound quality is very solid.
Lighting across the arena virtually blinds the taper beginning with "Sweetest Thing". During this song, the picture has a greenish tint. Things get so bad during "Wild Honey" and "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" that the taper has to focus exclusively on the video screens above the stage. Thankfully, the lighting situation is resolved by "All I Want Is You". The VCR playing the source tape had a brief tracking problem at the very beginning of "The Fly.
