Not to mention the really cruddy shots from the lips of the stadiums, and
the constant close ups of one person in a group, instead of at least
spreading the close ups around.  (IE Sting, while singing with Dire Staits)

The best example of the long shots, was the finale at Wimbley, when whoever
joined Paul McCartney on stage, 90% of what we saw was a top view of the 
stadium!

I suppose that sometime in the future, a complete video tape will be released
that will show all the stuff that we missed while bouncing back and forth,
and watching the VJ's enjoy themselves.
