From Backstreets.com, a blog about Bruce Springsteen, comes this report of the Boss's concert in Milwaukee on March 17:

Next, always the mark of a special night, was "Meeting Across the River" into "Jungleland." For "Meeting," they were joined by renowned jazz bassist Richard Davis, whose early-'70s recordings with Bruce included playing upright on this studio recording from Born to Run. Van Zandt told Rolling Stone in 2005: "We had Richard Davis, who played bass on [Van Morrison's] Astral Weeks, come in for ["Meeting'] -- and Astral Weeks was like a religion to us." Bruce talked about that a bit on stage tonight, too. At 77, Davis is a professor of music at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; we're told this was his first Springsteen concert.
