From the last few posts you already know that Simple Plan played on the canadian festival called Festivent last Friday. Cyberpresse.ca posted a very nice review of this show (thanks to Sab for the English translation), which was attended by almost 40 000 people! Apart from the article, you can also check out in our gallery first photos from this show.
Almost 40.000 jubilant people cheered Simple Plan at Festivent, at Saint Jean-Chrysostome, last Friday and the band from Montreal delivered its package with its candy-pop-punk but always effective.
Much more pop than punk, despite the insertion of the “Hey ho, Let’s go” just like the Ramones, in the song Generation which started the show, the guys from Simple Plan gave the predominantly teenager crowd all their favourite songs.
Still nice and charismatic, the singer Pierre Bouvier who seemed to hold the crowd in his hand, had no difficulties making people participate, raising their arms in the air during Shup Up! or jumping up and down during Jump, two famous songs from the album Still Not Getting Any.
Apparently happy to present another show in Quebec after a stop in New Richmond, Bouvier and the bass player David Desrosiers, who was dressed of an odd white suit, were fully devoted, joking and communicating with their fans between the songs.
“Tonight you should be a part from the band Simple Plan, with us!” said Bouvier just before he invited people to count to 4 in order to launch the song Addicted. Later, Desrosiers reminded that it was in Saint-Jean Chrysostome that he had his first parachute jump.
Bouvier and his group also took the opportunity of this show to test the song You Suck At Love, which will be included in the next album, keeping their famous hits I’d Do Anything, I’m Just a Kid and Crazy for the end of the evening, once the sun set.
