I thought this was kinda cool. Dylan came out on Saturday night at Shea Stadium to perform "Highway 61 Revisited" with Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band:

I have a picture at home of them performing Forever Young together at
some festival several years ago, and of course they both appear on We
Are The World. Dylan once did a live version of Dancing In The Dark. It
was an unusually long concert where he started taking requests, and it
was funny, apparently.

The concert you speak of is Toad's Place, New Haven, CT. January 12, 1990. Dylan performed 49 songs that night, including "Dancing In The Dark" and a rare performance of "Congratulations" from Traveling Wilburys Vol. One.
Must have been a cool show to be at!
They performed "Forever Young" at the Concert For The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, which was held in Cleveland to celebrate the opening of the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band also backed Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis at the concert.

Is that what it was about (the RNR HOF)? I couldn't find the picture
but I remember that Natalie Merchant and Odetta were there as well.
Other Dylan/Springsteen connections:
Bruce has been somewhat of a mentor to Jakob Dylan.
Bruce recorded a version of Chimes Of Freedom (didn't contain all verses).
Dylan kind of paid tribute to, and sort of poked fun at, Bruce's early long-
winded story telling song style in the brilliant Tweeter And The Monkey
Man with the Travelling Wilburys
