On Wednesday, Simple Plan finished their short Australian tour, that consisted of 5 shows in 3 cities: Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. And all of the concerts were sold-out.
As you already know, Melbourne had the honor of becoming the first city on the Taking One For The Team to get three shows in a row. The final concert took place once again in the Prince Bandroom venue, and still brought in a very excited crowd of fans, even though some of them had seen the band on the first two shows during the previous two nights.
Regarding the setlist, the guys kept the surprising adddition of ‘Addicted’ from previous day – but that is not where the surprises ended! Quite possibly for the first time on this tour, ‘When I’m Gone’ has returned to the setlist (performed instead of ‘Take My Hand’ or ‘Your Love Is A Lie’), and the band also re-added ‘Everytime’ in its acoustic form to their encore, which has been played a number of times during the European tour. Compared to setlist from the second show in Melbourne though, there was no ‘The Rest Of Us’ and the boys also once again replaced – very fittingly, since this was their last show in Australia – ‘I Refuse’ for ‘Farewell’.
