of the song's verses and included an electric guitar part performed by G. E. Smith as a member of his newly formed band. Since 1988, Dylan has played the song in concert many times in both electric and semi-acoustic versions, and sometimes as an acoustic encore. At the 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert to Dylan at Madison Square Garden in 1992, "My Back Pages" was performed in the Byrds' arrangement, with Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Dylan himself, and George Harrison, all singing one verse in that order. This performance, which featured vocals from all six musicians, along with guitar solos by Clapton and Young and with Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Jim Keltner and G. E. Smith (who was also the musical leader) as sidemen, was released on The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration album in 1993. In addition to its initial appearance on Another Side of Bob Dylan, "My Back Pages" has appeared on a number of Dylan compilation albums.

In Australia, the song was included on the 1994 compilation album Greatest Hits Vol. 3.

"My Back Pages" was subsequently issued as a single by the Byrds on March 13, 1967, with the version included on the single being a radio edit that omitted the song's second verse, to reduce the playing time from 3:08 to 2:31. The single reached number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 18 in Canada, but failed to chart in the United Kingdom. "My Back Pages" was the last single by the Byrds to reach the Top 40 of the U.S. charts. The song was initially suggested as a suitable vehicle for the band by their manager Jim Dickson. Lead guitarist Jim McGuinn felt that it would make an effective cover version, but David Crosby, the band's rhythm guitarist, felt that covering another Dylan song was formulaic.
