Slayer received a positive reception when performing at the Augusta Civic Center. On finishing half the [[set list]], the band briefly left the stage and returned to play the 28-minute album, ''Reign in Blood'' as an encore. On the final song, "Raining Blood" the lights were turned off and Slayer members were deluged by two buckets of stage blood. According to King, the crowd went quiet for a few seconds until they realized the blood was part of the show. King thought Araya looked like a psychotic mass murderer, which contributed to the crowd's reaction. Following the two large drops,   stage blood mixed with water was used so it looked like it was "raining blood".<ref name="GuitarKing"/>

Andy Patrizio of [[IGN]] awarded the DVD six out of ten commenting, "[[Tom Araya]] lost his piercing shriek that opens '[[Angel of Death (Slayer song)|Angel of Death]]' and the end of 'Necrophobic'",<ref name="Slayer: Still Reigning The landmark metal album performed in its entirety."/> praising Lombardo's return by saying the drummer "...hasn't lost a step at all. With barely any breathing time between songs, the underground drum legend shows that an impending 40th birthday (next month) isn't going to slow him down."<ref name="Slayer: Still Reigning The landmark metal album performed in its entirety."/> Patrizio stated the production was not of the highest caliber, as the rapid "[[MTV]]-style" cuts were distracting, as was the switch from black and white to color shots.<ref name="Slayer: Still Reigning The landmark metal album performed in its entirety."/> Patrizio ended the review with the comment, "This is what you get for letting [[Uwe Boll]] direct your music video", Boll being a heavily criticized [[film director]].<ref name="Slayer: Still Reigning The landmark metal album performed in its entirety.">{{cite web
