When I was a kid, I would never look at set lists because I loved the element of surprise. As an adult, and an experienced concert goer, I feel the complete opposite and always like to brace myself to know what I'm in for. So, as Slayer kicked off their farewell tour, and if you're like me and curious what they played, I got all the info you need.
Here is the set list the band hand for their kick off show at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California last night (Thursday, May 10th):
1. “Repentless”
2. “Blood Red”
3. “Disciple”
4. “Mandatory Suicide”
5. “Hate Worldwide”
6. “War Ensemble”
7. “Jihad”
8. “When the Stillness Comes”
9. “Postmortem”
10. “Black Magic”
11. “Payback”
12. “Seasons in the Abyss”
13. “Dittohead”
14. “Dead Skin Mask”
15. “Hell Awaits”Encore:
16. “South of Heaven”
17. “Raining Blood”
18. “Chemical Warfare”
19. “Angel of Death”
If you've seen Slayer on their last few tours, the setlist seems relatively consistent with what they've been playing. I'm not sure if Slayer will be changing anything up, so you can expect most of these songs throughout the tour.
SanDiegoUnionTribune.com has a ton of photos from the kick-off show.
Also, here is some bootleg footage from the kick off:
