Jeff Hanneman returned to the stage last night in Indio, CA when Slayer played their encores "South of Heaven" and "Angel of Death". Jeff was forced to miss all of the band's shows this year after undergoing emergency surgery on his right arm in January. Gary Holt of Exodus had been playing the rest of the set.

Jeff surprised the crowd of 50,000 when he walked out onto the stage, unannounced, and played the two-song encore, "South Of Heaven" and "Angel Of Death". Backstage in Slayer's dressing room afterwards, Jeff relaxed on a couch and said, "I'm the happiest man in the world."

01. World Painted Blood
