After Seattle, the guys from Simple Plan were supposed to kick off their Canadian tour two days later in Vancouver, however they almost didn’t make it there. As luck would have it, due to some issues at the U.S./Canadian border, which wouldn’t clear their tourbus to enter Canada for at least a few hours, Chuck and Jeff took a cab to Vancouver, while Pierre, Seb and Chady were aiming at an Uber.
Unfortunately, Uber doesn’t operate in Vancouver, so after not being able to find any around, Chady decided to save the situation by hitchhiking. And since the guys were already pretty much in Canada, its known hospitality proved itself just a moment later! A nice guy named Sean immediately stopped for the trio and gave them a ride all the way to Vancouver.
The guys then invited Sean to their show and he filmed the moment they spoke about him on stage. Check out the story from Pierre’s words below:
The guys also added one additional song to the setlist – Summer Paradise, and also kept Jet Lag from the previous night:
2. The Worst Day Ever
3. You Don’t Mean Anything
4. I’m Just A Kid
5. When I’m With You
6. Meet You There
7. Addicted
8. My Alien
9. God Must Hate Me
10. I Won’t Be There
11. One Day
12. Grow Up
13. Perfect
15. Jump
16. Boom
17. Jet Lag
18. Summer Paradise
19. Crazy
20. Welcome To My Life
A couple of other more familiar faces also appeared at the Simple Plan show in Vancouver – Mike Ayley from Marianas Trench was seen in the crowd and so was also Bob Rock, who produced Simple Plan’s album ‘Still Not Getting Any’.
