The things I noticed about this performance were that the camera is almost never static.
At first each band member is introduced as their part is the predominant instrument in the mix. Afterwards, the crowd is introduced and Bono starts singing as it cuts to him. All this is done to grab and keep the audiences interest as they can't get the 'live' feel. At some points the camera work is done to contrast the size of the band members against the enormity of the crowd.
This shot frames the bassist, Bono and the crowd amazingly well. Bono is in mid shot with a close up of the top end of the base fret to show the fret work. The flags in the crowd are highly visible and being waved by the excited crowd.
