At the bottom, it reads :-

"U2 PopMart was captured at the Foro Sol Autodromo, Mexico City on 3rd
December in front of 70,000 fans.

"The show was filmed with 22 cameras onto NTSC Digibeta and the sound
recorded onto 48 track digital stereo.� The spectacular PopMart set featured
the world's largest video screen - an amazing 56 foot x 170 foot, a 40 foot
mirrorball lemon and a 20 foot olive on a 100 foot high cocktail stick!

During the 12 month period on the road, U2 performed over 100 shows, visited
80 cities and were seen by an incredible 4 million people.

U2 were named 'Best Live band' at the most recent MTV Europe Awards.� The
current album 'Pop' reached No. 1 in 28 countries.� PopMart is the first
video release from U2 in over 4 years.� Over 75 million audio sales
worldwide."

It is not known whether this video will be exclusively from the 2nd night or
merged with images from the first night in Mexico City.� The 2nd was also
broadcast on local TV and a bootleg is commonly available from the usual
sources.

PS: In the Sweetest Thing Video: Is it Bono's brother, Norman, who runs up
to the carriage with the platter of meat?
