Notes:
I video recorded the following ten songs during the gig (I only recorded ten because I wanted to enjoy the rest of the show, it's not much fun staring at U2 through a viewfinder!):

I was located high up in the stands on Adam's side. I was pleased to be so high up because it allowed me to produce a video that doesn't focus just on the band, but one that shows Willie Williams' utterly mesmering staging and lighting in all its fantastic glory. On a couple of songs the camera cut out briefly, I think because Adam's bass was so loud! (my hard drive camera is exceptionally sensitive to vibration and I reckon that Adam's bass lines gave the hard drive stylus the heebeegeebies).  On Beautiful Day I couldn't edit my video to fill about a ten second gap, so I nicked a clip off YouTube to fill in, thanks to whoever it was that took it and uploaded it.  The audio on all the songs is M!les' recording of the gig. 

I'm including here the individual mpeg2 files and a DVD which has all ten songs on it, with a menu and chapter points.  If anyone wants to use the HD .mts files for a multi-cam edit of the show, let me know (basically, if there's a demand for the .mts files, I'll make them available).   

Thanks to:
M!les, for his permission to edit his excellent audio recording into my video. u2rulesmyworld, for his inspirational videos from the Vertigo tour. Willie Williams, for surpassing himself on each successive tour - unbelievable work.

Comment: A well filmed Audience shot, focusing the whole stage with the band, the screen and contains some nice close ups to the band and each band members. Just a pitty it is just these 10 tracks only, but these songs are complete though. Well done! Pitty the sound is terrible too. Anyway this is probably a nice spot to use for x-cam mixes!
