When I Paint My Masterpiece

     "When I Paint My Masterpiece" is a 1971 song written by Bob Dylan. It was first released by The Band, who recorded the song for their album CAHOOTS. Dylan himself recorded the song in the March 1971 sessions that were produced by Leon Russell. From these sessions came the "Watching the River Flow" single and this track. Both appeared later in the year on BOB DYLAN'S GREATEST HITS VOL II. An outtake of the song, from the same March sessions, was released in 2013 on THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 10: ANOTHER SELF PORTRAIT (1969-1971).
     Dylan and The Band performed the song together live, in the early hours of January 1, 1972, at a New Year's Eve concert by The Band; a recording was released as a bonus track on the 2001 CD reissue of The Band's live album ROCK OF AGES.
    The Band performed the song at the 1992 Bob Dylan tribute concert. The recording is on the CD of the event.
