sicnesses was filmed in high definition when Slipknot headlined the Download Festival in front of 80,000 fans in June 2009. Among the band’s many legendary live shows, this performance remains a career highlight and a fitting tribute to bassist and founding member Paul Gray (#2) who died the following year.
Originally released by Roadrunner as a 2DVD set in September 2010, this concert is now released on Blu-ray, with newly remixed DTS 5.1 surround sound, so that Slipknot can be seen and heard like never before. The concert was filmed with 30 cameras and premiered in selected theaters for free across the US, on it’s release in 2010.

bonus:
• Audible Visions of sicnesses (SD; 40:42) has the cheery little subtitle “all hope is gone” (the title of Slipknot’s fourth album and resultant tour) and is a kind of backstage documentary that captures a wide variety of performances, including everything from Moscow, Russia to a January 28, 2009 concert at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, as well as various behind the scenes footage. It’s kind of funny to see the guys, all in their masks, just kind of hanging out and talking backstage as if it were the most normal thing in the world to be dressed that way.
• Music Videos include:
– Snuff (1080i; 6:16)
– Dead Memories (SD; 5:00)
– Sulfur (SD; 5:07)
– Psychosocial (SD; 5:06)
• The Making of Snuff (SD; 10:19) has a lot of backstage footage of the music video being filmed, along with thoughts from director M. Shawn Crahan (“Clown” and/or Number 6 in the band) and members of the band. There’s some fun footage with guest star Malcolm McDowell as well. Corey Taylor makes for one of the oddest looking cross dressers ever in this video.
