The Long Players return to the 3rd and Lindsley stage Saturday night for a re-creation of Tom Petty’s 1989 solo debut Full Moon Fever. It will be the third time the world’s greatest tribute band has performed the five-time platinum record, the last time being in 2015. “The Long Players have done many of Tom Petty’s records over the years, and it always seems like such a good fit for us as musicians and fans,” says group co-founder/ringleader Bill Lloyd. “He’s a perennial.” As always, the band — guitarist Lloyd, guitarist Steve Allen, drummer Steve Ebe, bassist Doug Kahan (subbing for Brad Jones), keyboardist Seth Timbs and percussionist Paul Snyder — will be joined by a number of guest vocalists. Saturday’s lineup of singers includes John Cowan, Tommy Womack, David Mead, Joe Blanton, Todd Sharp, Chris Church, Zach Lindsey, Philip Creamer, Jonathan Bright and The Prickly Pair (Mason Summit and Irene Greene). After performing Full Moon Fever in sequence, The Long Players and their guests will play a set of other material by Petty. “It will be some fun things people want to do, and we’ll make sure to play some more of his hits,” Lloyd says.
