More than a month ago 16,000 rabid Slipknot fans were denied their fix when the multi-platinum selling metal band was forced to cancel their scheduled appearance at KISW’s Pain in the Grass show.

After an unspecified illness suffered by drummer Joey Jordison forced the band to cancel their headlining slot, the band promised to return for a makeup show in the near future.

On Saturday, the nine members of Slipknot, including Jordison behind the kit, made good on their promise, headlining a three-band show at the White River Amphitheatre.

After whizbang opening slots by the Sabbath-influenced Seattle band Witchburn and Vancouver B.C. based headbangers 3 Inches of Blood, the Slipknot took the stage, ripping through a 12-song set with a two-song encore.
