U2 are playing in one of their favorite towns and you can tell. Below you will find some screenshots of the menus. The duration of the DVD is 2 hours 19 minutes, which is unusually long for U2 standards. Needless to say the DVD menu contains options for sound settings as well as a track selection. On the bright side the DVD doesn't contain any copyright statements so you are able to start right away with the concert when putting it in a DVD player.

The concert starts off with a very short 'Wake up' from Arcade Fire and segues into 'Everyone', which was used as the 1st leg intro. The recording is almost complete with only 'Party Girl' missing on the DVD, which was played on both nights. The setlists of those two nights are almost identical with only the final song being different ('40' on the 9th and 'Vertigo' on the 10th '40' was used for the DVD).

The booklet contains 14 pages and is provided with live pictures of the band. The booklet is connected to the sleeve and the 2 DVDs are stored on the right side. The "Deluxe Edition" comes with the usual digipack cover which we are familiar with from the Boston and Slane Castle DVD. The standard DVD version comes with a "super jewel box", which is similar to a CD jewel case but in DVD format.
