In addition to covering Diamond Head‘s “Helpless” and Bachman-Turner Overdrive‘s “Away From Home“, Metallica‘s five-song acoustic set featured “Low Man’s Lyric“, which they hadn’t played since 1998. During the acoustic session, Metallica was joined on stage by the classically trained duet SistaStrings and Avi Vinocur.
