NOTE: A three camera mix from the first night of the Elevation Tour.  The camera locations are as follows:

Camera 1: in the stands straight away from the stage
Camera 2: in the stands on the right side (Adam's side) of the arena, at an approximately 60 degree angle from the stage
Camera 3: in the stands on the right side (Adam's side) of the arena, at an approximately 60 degree angle from the stage

There doesn't appear to be much difference in the location of Cameras 2 and 3.  The quality of the footage from all three cameras is excellent.  The only true cloesups are on the footage from Camera 1.  When the camera zooms in extremely tight, the footage becomes a bit pixelated.  Thankfully this only happens on a few brief occasions.  Thankfully, not many are included.  Most of the footage is filmed fairly tight and there are no problems with washout.

This DVD begins during the first verse of "Elevation".  The picture doesn't move for the first ten seconds, then a second camera fades in. The video than returns to the same still picture from 1:00 to 1:45, at which point the screen fades to black until 2:00.  From 1:00 to 2:00 there is a noticeable drop in the quality of the audio.  "Elevation" cuts out early and "Beautiful Day" begins at around 1:55.  At 2:00 the video reappears, and the audio improves again.

"Elevation" and "Beautiful Day" contain only footage from Camera 1.  The second and third camers are mixed in beginning with "Until the End of the World".   When camera 2 is mixed in for the first time the audio quality is considerably worse and the transition is choppy.

The video is still again for several seconds at the beginning of "New Year's Day".  All of the footage for "New Year's Day", "Stuck In A Moment", "Gone", "Discotheque" is from Camera 3.  About half way through "New York", the picture is still for about five seconds and then the video resumes with footage from Camera 2.

There is another sloppy transition at the end of "Sunday Bloody Sunday".  The picture fades to black, the audio becomes a bit muffled and then there is a break in the recording.  It resumes during the intro to "Sweetest Thing".

Overall there is not a lot of editing during songs.  For the most part, the person who authored this DVD choise to include footage from one camera for several songs before switching to another.  All three cameras provide high quality footage with excellent audio and video.  Save for a few brief occasions during which the audio quality inexplicaby drops, the quality of this DVD is great.
