Locked In: Dezron Douglas and TAB Set the Tone with a Bass-Driven Start to Dead & Company’s Finale

Trey Anastasio Band opened the night at Golden Gate Park with a set that felt tight from the first downbeat. Dezron Douglas was at the center, not by volume or spotlight, but by presence.

He played his Skjold five-string through a Markbass rig. The tone was clean and big. Enough space to move. Enough weight to hold everything together. He was listening more than playing, but when he played, it counted.

His lines stayed low and clear, always in motion. He played with restraint and feel, making room for the band without ever playing it safe.
