Remarks:
At the 3rd show in NYC, there was a surprise performance by Jimmy Fallon and The Roots in the second set. The Tonight Show host was holding a sign up that read "Singer with a broken finger" and though the audience didn't realize who it was, the band members of U2 did. Mr. Fallon was brought up on stage and performed "Desire", and towards the end of the song Bono did some "Meerkat" videotaping on a smartphone that was transmitted on the big screens. Right after that Jimmy's house band "The Roots" performed "Angel of Harlem" with U2 in front of a screaming audience of joyous fans. Many, many celebrities and famous people were spotted in the audience and those included former U.S. Senator and current presidential Republican candidate Rick Santorum, U.S. Congresswoman Nita Lowey, music producer Steve Lillywhite, musicians Paul McCartney, Alicia Keys, Nile Rodgers, Angelique Kidjo, chef Mario Batali, and supermodels Helena Christensen and Christy Turlington.
