NOTE: This DVD features two layers of menus. The root menu is pretty generic. It features the title "U2 Rockpalast 81, Poprock 84" at the top. Underneath this are two boxes, each is labeled "L 1/1/2000 12:00AM". If you click on the first box on the root menu, you are taken to a fancier menu with two thumbnails. The first thumbnail is labeled "Metropol Berlin 1981-11-03" (note the wrong date) and the second is labeled "Bonus Tracks". If you click on the second box on the root menu, you are taken directly to the Rockpop '84 footage. Strangely, you can't click on "Bonus Tracks". The bonus track is apparently the second rendition of "I Will Follow" that is included after the standard set.
The Rockpalast 81 footage is very high quality, featuring a sharp picture and excellent audio. Unfortunately, the track divisions within this footage occur in the middle of songs, so I didn't bother listing the individual tracks here.
The Rockpop 84 footage is much lower quality. It lacks sharpness and was apparently transferred to DVD from a high generation VHS tape. In addition, it is quite pixelated when viewed on a standalone DVD player (it looks decent, but not great on my PC). The audio on this recording is very solid, however.
