NOTE: This is definitely one of the best audience-shot videos from the Joshua Tree Tour. Filmed from in the stands on the right side (Adam's side) at about a 20 degree angle from the stage. While the video quality isn't on par with top shelf videos from later tours when bette equipment was available, the footage on this title is very solid nonetheless. Compared to other audience-shot videos from this tour, the footage is pretty sharp and has some definition to it. For example, you can make out details on the faces of the band members. Hands clapping and bodies in front of the taper occasionally present an obstruction. Most of the footage is shot at about as tight as the taper could zoom in...I guess you could call it a relative closeup. Every once in a while the taper briefly pulls back and you can see most of the arena. The audio is a bit hot, you can hear some crackling in the high end. The recording cuts in during the organ intro to "Streets". [Justin Cook's Site]
