The second-to-last show of the No Pads tour in Brazil took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Wednesday and just like the one in Sao Paulo, it was completely sold-out.
Prior to the day of the show, Simple Plan’s photographer Chady Awad left the tour to tour with Parkway Drive in Europe and since Chady was the one to step in for David in certain parts of the show and play bass, it was Chris Adolph, Simple Plan’s technician, who was there to help out in this matter.
The biggest and fairly unexpected change on this show however was the sudden addition of ‘Vacation’ on the No Pads part of the setlist – which has only been played at soundchecks until now. To keep the total count of the songs still 21 however, Simple Plan did not play ‘Your Love Is A Lie’ in the encore. During the show, Jeff also made an homage to a popular local pop singer called Anitta by playing a solo of the song ‘Vai Malandra’ (thx Bruno for the info). Check out the full setlist from Rio below:
