Slayer delivered an unforgettable show on September 22 in Chicago. Despite being off stage for several years, the band played as if they had never left. The setlist was a perfect mix of the biggest classics, like "Raining Blood" along with rare gems that hadn’t been played live in years. For example, "Reborn", played as the second song, hadn’t been performed live since 2014. The song "213" made an even bigger comeback, reappearing on stage after 26 years, with its last live performance in 1998. It remains to be seen whether this setlist will carry over to future shows.
