\"U2subway\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We’d seen hints of it, but last night the Jimmy Fallon Show<\/strong><\/em> featured a video of U2<\/strong> performing (with Fallon<\/strong> MC-ing) in an NYC subway (initially undetected).\u00a0 Edge’s<\/strong> underrated harmonies were, as usual, a highlight in the subway.<\/p>\n

As you may recall, U2<\/strong> was scheduled to do a week-long residency on The Tonight Show<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0in November, but had to cancel after Bono’s horrendous<\/strong> cycling accident in Central Park (see the Fallon\/Bono<\/strong> skit at bottom).\u00a0 The band completely dominated last night’s show, which included studio performances of Song For Someone<\/strong><\/em> from their latest album, Songs of Innocence<\/em><\/strong>, along with Beautiful Day<\/strong><\/em> and Angel of Harlem <\/strong><\/em>with The Roots<\/strong> (“Go tuba!”).\u00a0 Tour de force!<\/p>\n

We know it ain’t hip, but we still love this band.<\/p>\n
