One night after bringing an entire U2 tribute band onstage to perform “Desire,” Bono plucked a young woman named Stephanie from the audience at Toronto’s Air Canada Center Tuesday night and let her play acoustic guitar on “Angel of Harlem.” U2 has been bringing fans onstage to play guitar and sing since the 1980s, but never with the regularity of this tour. “What was at the heart of punk rock for us was the desire to communicate on an equal basis with your audience,” Bono told Rolling Stone days before the tour began, “meaning there’s no division between you and the people that come to see you.”
