Oslo (Valle Hovin Stadion) Norway - July, 27th 2005

After a few days off, the band came to Oslo with renewed energy. By many regarded as the best concert in Norway, ever. Bono had learnt a few norwegian words, and he praised the norwegians, both our looks and our hearts ;-) He said that all it takes to change the world is 10.000 Norways... 600 Norways... 100 Norways.
The stadium is G.A only, and the cams (13 in all) were mostly located inside the bombshelter. This DVD was not planned, so don't expect the filming to be of very high standards. The main cam is a videocam, while the others are various digital photocams in video-mode. Mixed together it makes quite a nice DVD, afterall.

The audio-track is rat6464's bootleg "Swinging To The Music". Used with permission.

The image quality is good. Bright colors, but a bit out of focus at times.

JVC (mpeg2) -> CyberLink PowerDirector (DV) Nokia (3gp) -> ImTOO 3GP VideoConverter (DV) Nikon/Panasonic (mov) -> ImTOO 3GP VideoConverter (DV) Canon/Casio/Sony (mpeg/avi) -> CyberLink PowerDirector (DV) -> Sony Vegas -> Adobe EncoreDVD

In the "General Information" I stated MiniDV as the source, because the correct source was missing from the options. The JVC is a videocam recording MPEG2 in 8Mbps DVD quality to either MicroDrives, CompactFlash or SecureDigital-cards.

There are some amazing closeups on this DVD, as well as some nice distance shots. At a few occations Bono is looking straight into the cam. But keep in mind that this was filmed handheld from the middle of the crowd, inside the bombshelter and the footage are from a lot of different sources.
