See below for some fan-filmed footage of the set, which included covers of Pantera and Damageplan. Vinnie Paul (aka Vinnie Paul Abbott) died in his Las Vegas home on June 22nd at the age of 54. His cause of death was later declared the result of dilated cardiomyopathy—essentially an enlarged heart—while severe coronary artery disease also played a part in his death as well.
