Simple Plan published a brand new vlog, which was filmed during their two-day stay at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida last weekend. All of the guys took their kids along with them, which made it some very special six Disney peformances.
Check out the vlog via Instagram below:
To celebrate yesterday’s 15th anniversary of their first album No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls, Simple Plan revealed some professionally filmed footage from their shows in Australia last year, where they had the whole crew of film maker Peter John filming these shows for them.
Check out the neat footage of ‘I’d Do Anything’ below:
There were some other funny characters to be found at the World Disney World resort in Orlando, Florida yesterday besides Mickey Mouse and his friends. Simple Plan started their two-day residence there yesterday with first three shows as a part of the Garden Rocks festival, which attracted hundreds of people.
During their three 30-minute sets, which took place at 5pm, 6:30pm and 8pm, Simple Plan introduced three different setlists, two of which you now have the chance to see for yourself on the following two videos, which capture the first and the third set of the day. Interestingly – the band started all these sets with their old intro “siren” music, which you may remember from MTV: Hard Rock Live (coincidentally, also filmed in Orlando, Florida).
Pierre even reminisced about the time his band played Disney World for the first time – in 2002 – which is where he first met his now-wife Lachelle (see the second video at mark 10:45 for the full story), who was there along with their two children. Besides Lachelle and Pierre’s children, the rest of the guys also took their wives and kids to see Disney World and for the kids to see their Dads play in the process as well. Check out the first and third full set Simple Plan played including their setlist below:
5:30pm setlist:
1. Shut Up!
2. I’d Do Anything
3. Jet Lag
4. Welcome To My Life
5. I’m Just A Kid
6. Perfect
8:00pm setlist:
1. Shut Up!
2. The Worst Day Ever
3. Addicted
4. Boom!
5. I’m Just A Kid
6. Perfect
And even though we do not currently have the second show in its entirety, we know that Simple Plan incorporated ‘What’s New Scooby-Doo’ into this particular setlist. Check out a video of them playing this old-school track below:
Simple Plan will be performing three sets at Walt Disney World again today, so until then, check out the atmosphere at the first day at Disney on the fantastic pictures in the gallery:
And here it is: after shows in London, Quebec City and Toronto, Simple Plan finally headed home to Montreal yesterday to perform their last Taking One For The Team show (for a while) at the Bell Centre to their hometown crowd. And it wasn’t just the fans who they were excited to see – because it was a hometown show, many of the band members’ families came to root for their boys – including their children – and also their old friends, such as Patrick Langlois.
Due to the very heavy snowstorm, which has stunned Montreal recently, some articles report there were only about 7700 attendees, who made it to the show (while the Bell Centre can hold up to 15 000 people for concerts). But if you were in the crowd on the spot, you’d be barely able to notice as the crowd filled up the whole arena. Overall, the fans’ reactions were more than positive, with some having seen their previous Canadian shows even stated that Simple Plan definitely saved their best for last.
The setlist of the show remained the same throughout the whole Canadian tour – the only big surprise in Montreal came in the form of confetti at the end of the show, when Simple Plan bowed out with their closer ‘Perfect’:

After Montreal, Simple Plan will be heading to Florida next, where they are duo to perform at Disney World for two days before their NPNHJB “officially” starts. In the meantime, make sure to visit the gallery now for some amazing pictures from the Montreal show:
Tuesday night in Toronto, Canada was all about the Simple Plan show in Air Canada Centre, where the band performed for thousands of their local fans.
And while there were many spectacular moments throughout the show that we’re sure fans will remember for a long time, there was one moment, which stood above any other. You can see it on some of the pictures in the gallery, but I definitely recommned you checking out the following video, in which you can see Pierre singing ‘Crazy’ to the fans from the middle of the venue, directly, while his bandmates continued playing their instruments up on the stage.
Have a look for yourself (thx Monika for the original video and SPB for putting it up):
