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

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

We know it ain’t hip, but we still love this band.
