#FallonTonight

Premiere of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and the band were in New York, performing 'Invisible' on top of 30 Rockefeller Center, chatting in the studio and delivering a beautiful acoustic version of 'Ordinary Love'.

Watch Invisible and Ordinary Love Performance

As Rolling Stone put it: 'The group played "Invisible," with a little help from the Rutgers University drumline on either side of drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. Bono came from the wings and pounded his fist into his hand, feeling pumped up to be playing for the intimate crowd. The aerial shots of the crowd jumping in such a small space made for one of the most dramatic U2 visuals since they played on a roof for 'Where The Streets have No Name.'

Incredible what i heard!! U2 intro while they were coming into the fallon studio was "tonight" u2 demo 1978 played by the roots, the band live in the studio.. AMAZING

Let's go rocking' boys!!!

You guys looked great! I actually fired up the old VHS, since I didn't have a high tech way to record the program. Both of the songs sounded amazing. If "Invisible" is a hint of the new album, I'm all the way onboard. And "Ordinary Love" Is a beautiful song worthy of it's recognition.

Good thing they were on the roof for Invisible, because it would have just blown right off anyway if this performance had been inside! Well done, gents!

OSCAR for U2

Just seen U2's performance on YouTube. Invisible was incredible, Acoustic Ordinary Love was stunning!! Hope that the guys could make it this year. Haven't heard other nominated songs, but I don't care. Ordinary Love has to win.
