U2 Performs On the Streets Of New York City [Video]

If you've ever walked around downtown Grand Rapids, occasionally (and especially during ArtPrize) you'll see street musicians performing along Monroe Center or Division Street.

What if you walked by one of these musicians and realized, "Holy crap, that's U2!"

That's what happened to some NYC subway riders last night.

The band was in New York City to perform Friday on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, and decided to set up as subway buskers on the S Train platform at Grand Central Station.

Their disguise was quickly dismissed and fans began gathering to see along with Bono and the crew, and to post their photos and videos on Instagram and Twitter.
