It was somewhat disappointing in that they cut the concert down to 90 minutes. Several portions of the concert were gone including Zoo Station and The Fly. I thought they should have left in the entire Zoo TV encore because it really was the coolest use of the light show which makes for better tv, especially in HD.

All in all, though, I think it gave a favorable impression of the band for HD Net viewers seeing the Vertigo Tour for the first time.
