To ring in the arrival of the new year, Simple Plan couldn’t have chosen a better way to spend the last minutes of 2017: at the beautifully haunting Niagara Falls, in their homeland Canada, surrounded by their friends and other Canadian acts (such as Marianas Trench) and performing for tens of thousands of people. The only thing that was a bit of a downer was the extreme cold, which reached almost up to -20°C. But even despite that, the boys bravely hit the stage last night to warm up the crowd with the last Simple Plan show of 2017.
If you’ve been following SimplePlan.cz, you were aware that you would able to watch the show live on YouTube. However, it turned out that CBC aired only one song from Simple Plan’s whole set – that being the first song, ‘I’d Do Anything’. In reality, Simple Plan performed a much longer set that also included songs like ‘Jump’, ‘Summer Paradise’, ‘I’m Just A Kid’, ‘Addicted’ or ‘Perfect’.
Check out the livestream’s recording of SP’s ‘I’d Do Anything’ live at Niagara Falls last night below. It starts around mark 42:53:
Some of the other songs were captured on Simple Plan’s Instagram Stories, which you can check out below alongside the final story, in which the members of the band got to celebrate the 2018 on stage at midnight besides everyone else:
And finally, if you also wanna look at some of the photographs documenting the last SP appearance in 2017, check out these two albums in our gallery! The first one will show you pictures from behind the scenes of last night’s events and in the second one you’ll find pictures directly from the Simple Plan show at Niagara Falls:
It has already become sort of a tradition for Simple Plan to whenever they have the chance (and Marie-Mai or Natashu Bedingfield are not around), they always try to find a female singer to perform Jet Lag with them on the show they are scheduled to play. And last night’s New Year’s show at Niagara Falls was no exception: Simple Plan were accompanied by a Canadian singer Chantal Kreviazuk.
