Yes, surely Richard Davis playing bass. And how!!
I looked him up on Wiki just now, and see that Greil Marcus described his playing on ‘Astral Weeks’ as ‘the greatest bass playing to appear on a rock album’.

Sorry, my mistake.
Greil stole that line from me.
Great choice of TB Sheets, which was covered by John Lee Hooker later.
Also the version of Madame George as a r&b singalong is pretty interesting.
I’ve looked for a footnote from Greil Marcus, acknowledging your source, but I don’t see it, oddly enough.
