NOTE: This DVD features the same video as the two disc bootleg with the same title, except the entire concert is included on a single disc.  Again there is a split in the middle of "Sunday Bloody Sunday", but this time a disc chagne isn't necessary.  To be honest, I can't really see much difference between the quality of the video on this DVD and that on the two disc bootleg.  Note that my DVD player provided the same bitrate for both recordings.  I don't think this is possible, as the bitrate for this recording would have to be considerably lower to allow it to fit on a single disc.

This DVD also includes a few brief clips filmed by other cameras interspersed with the main footage.

Below are the notes from my review of the two disc bootleg:

Filmed from low in the stands on the right side (Adam's side) at an approximately 20 degree angle from the stage.  The taper is far enough removed from the stage that he does not attempt many true closeups.  The vast majority of the footage is wide-angle, with considerable variation in the zoom level.  The quality of the footage improves as the sun sets and the night begins.  The sunlight that is present at the beginning of the concert limits the sharpness of the picture.  As darkness sets in, picture clarity gets better.  However, don't expect to see the level of detail that is visible on the best audience-shot DVDs of this tour.  The distance between the taper and the stage does not allow it.  Check out the screen captures and look at the few relative closeups that are included.  You will see the effects that this distance has on the quality of the footage.  The audio on this DVD is excellent.  In fact, it is far better than on most audio recordings from the European leg of the Vertigo Tour.  For some reason the person who converted this video to DVD split "Sunday Bloody Sunday" over both discs.  The encore performance of "Vertigo" cuts out 2:35 into the song, just after Bono says "Just give me what I want..."

As is the case on the two disc bootleg, this DVD does not include an interactive menu and the chapter divisions are not located between songs.
