"When I Paint My Masterpiece" is a song written by Bob Dylan and first featured on the "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II" compilation in 1971. The song is segued back-to-back with "Tomorrow is a Long Time" (which is the the song right before it on the album). Even though there is applause at the beginning of the song, it is in fact a studio recording. The audience noise is only fade-in from the previous song.

"When I Paint My Masterpiece" was also recorded by The Band, who would release their version first on 1971's "Cahoots" album. Dylan and the Band would perform the song together at a New Year's Eve concert later that year, a recording of which was released as a bonus track on the 2001 CD reissue of the Band's live "Rock of Ages" album.

"When I Paint My Masterpiece" was also played by the Grateful Dead in various stadiums around the US from around 1987,the Dead covered this song for years before the Dead Dylan Tour along with numerous other Dylan covers. The song remained with the Grateful Dead till their end, and continued with Bob Weir's group Ratdog.
