Simple Plan published a new vlog on their official website, which reveals how the guys were dealing with the lyrics of Auld Lang Syne and basically what the whole soundcheck for the New Year’s Eve show at Niagara Falls (where they played for more than 50 000 people) looked like:

Full recording of the New Year’s Eve special at Niagara Falls
Once again, thanks to Charbel here is the full recording of Simple Plan’s appereance on the New Year’s Eve special at Niagara Falls. You can check all three parts below:
New Year’s show brought another Jet Lag collaboration: Chantal Kreviazuk
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.
If this name doesn’t ring any bell to you, you may have heard at least about her songwriting skills: in her career, Chantal has written (or co-written) for a huge number of musical artists: from Avril Lavigne (He Wasn’t) to Gwen Stefani (Rich Girl). She is also married to the lead singer of the band Our Lady Peace (Raine Maida), that also performed at this event.
Make sure to check out the gallery for the first pictures of Chantal on stage with the members of Simple Plan.
ET Canada’s preview of Simple Plan’s New Year’s concert
A huge thanks goes to Charbel for uploading ET Canada’s preview of Simple Plan’s New Year’s show at Niagara Falls on YouTube. This preview includes partial interviews with all the members of Simple Plan about what they expected the show to be like – as you’ll see, the guys clearly weren’t expecting 50 000 people to show up at the event. Soon, the whole concert should be available too, so just hang on tight till it is and keep checking back on SimplePlan.cz for it.
Here is the preview:
Simple Plan’s New Year’s show at Niagara Falls
Since the celebrations of the New Year’s Eve are already behind us, let’s take a look at what our five Canadian boys were up to on this magical night.
One day before the New Year’s Eve, Simple Plan got to the borders between Canada and the US, to Niagara Falls. This is where the band performed before, during and after midnight as the main stars of the night during the New Year’s Eve special that was also aired live on Global TV. You can already find a few pictures from the rehearsal from the day before and also the first picture from the show itself in the gallery:
Simple Plan jumped on the stage about half an hour before midnight and played a couple of their greatest hits. They also had the honour to do the countdown to midnight along with tens of thousands of spectators. The boys started the year off with their own special version of the traditional New Year’s song Auld Lang Syne, which you can check out below:
After that, the first original Simple Plan song that the band played live in 2012 has been the good old classic: “I’d Do Anything”.
More information and pictures will be added throughout the day.
