In tribute to the lives of Megaforce Records founder Jon Zazula and wife Marsha, Metallica performed a concert last night (Sunday, November 6) at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, with special guests Raven. Metallica performed tracks from their first two albums, Kill 'Em All (1983) and Ride The Lightning (1984), both released on Megaforce. Video footage from the show can be found below.
Upon the announcement of the concert, Metallica stated: "This night will be extra-special as we’ll be celebrating the life, legacy, and achievements of Jonny and Marsha Zazula. Jonny gave us our first break in New York, released our first albums on his Megaforce Records label, and put us out on the road for our first real tour. With Marsha by his side, Jonny was a mentor, a manager, a label head, and a father figure to us all... we would not be where we are today without the two of them. Sadly, we recently lost both Jonny and Marsha, just a little more than a year apart."
The band added: "A portion of the proceeds from the show will be donated in Jonny and Marsha’s name to MusiCares, a safety net supporting the health and welfare of the music community offering preventive, emergency, and recovery programs to musicians and industry professionals. Additionally, All Within My Hands will once again be supporting Feeding South Florida with a donation following the show."
