U2 Surprises Straphangers with Impromptu Subway Performance

U2 and Jimmy Fallon gave Monday night commuters a sweet surprise with a spontaneous performance at Grand Central Station.

Bono and his band turned into buskers on the Shuttle train platform and performed songs like "Angel of Harlem" for a captivated crowd of onlookers.
