See Metallica Play Rarities and Covers at Helping Hands Benefit Concert
Metallica staged their Helping Hands benefit concert Friday night in Los Angeles, delivering a set full of long-unplayed songs, covers, and classics.
The concert at Inglewood, California’s YouTube Theater opened with an acoustic take on “Low Man’s Lyric,” marking the first time the band has played the Reload track since 1998. Metallica closed out the first set with their first-ever acoustic take on 72 Seasons ’ “If Darkness Had a Son” and “Nothing Else Matters,” both backed by a string section. Helping Hands was Metallica’s final show of 2024; they’ll return to the road in April 2025 for a North American tour that includes arenas, stadiums, and festival stops.
