Just 13 months after the death of bassist and co-founding member Paul Gray, Slipknot made an emotional return to the stage at Terravibe Park in Athens this evening (June 17).The surviving eight members donned their classic red boiler suits and masks for the 14-song set at the Greek leg of the Sonisphere festival, while the late bassist's coveralls and pig mask hung symbolically to the left of drummer Joey Jordison's kit. Former guitarist Donnie Steele performed Paul's bass parts offstage."As you know tonight is very emotional show for us but it is not, not, a negative day," vocalist Corey Taylor told the 25,000-strong crowd. "It is a positive day. A day for celebration."The band's setlist was as follows:(sic)EyelessWait And BleedThe Blister ExistsLiberateBefore I ForgetPulse Of The MaggotsDisasterpiecePsychosocialThe Heretic AnthemDuality
