During "Streets", as Bono raps about the high peaks of Kilamanjaro and Nelson Mandela's Africa, the light curtains flashing various African flags are supposed to descend behind them, creating a magical light show in place of the red spotlights on past tours.
At Oakland 2, the curtains lit up, but they never came down. They just sat up in the rafters. Bono looked up a couple of times, then looked pissed for a few seconds when he realized that the curtains weren't going anywhere.
Naturally, none of it mattered, as "Streets" brought down the house once again. They could play that song in the dark and everyone would still go crazy over it.
Have there been any other stage screw-ups on this tour?
