METALLICA have released an official live video of their acoustic performance of “Enter Sandman” from their acoustic set at The Masonic in San Francisco, CA that took place on November 03rd, 2018. The group were joined onstage that night by Avi Vinocur on mandolin/backing vocals, David Phillips on pedal steel, Henry Salvia on keyboards and Cody Rhodes on guest percussion.
That show served as a benefit for Metallica‘s own All Within My Hands charity and raised $1.3 million for it along with an accompanying auction. The entire set saw a release on vinyl today, February 01st, as “Helping Hands…Live & Acoustic at The Masonic“. All proceeds from the album will go towards the band’s aforementioned charity.
Formed in 1981 by drummer Lars Ulrich and guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield, Metallica have become one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands in history, having sold 100 million albums worldwide and playing to millions of fans the world over. They have scored almost a dozen multi-platinum albums, including 1991’s Metallica (commonly referred to as “The Black Album”), which is the best selling album in history of Soundscan scanning almost 15.7 million albums in the United States alone, and over 25 million worldwide.
