In addition to featuring the song on The Times They Are a-Changin', Dylan subsequently performed "One Too Many Mornings" in electric arrangements -- notably during his 1966 world tour and in 1976 during his second Rolling Thunder Revue tour. Dylan's May 17, 1966 live performance of the song, recorded at Manchester Free Trade Hall, was featured on The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert (1998), while a "Rolling Thunder" version was featured on the live album Hard Rain (1976). In 2016, all Dylan's recorded live performances of the song from 1966 were released in the boxed set The 1966 Live Recordings, with the May 26, 1966 performance released separately on the album The Real Royal Albert Hall 1966 Concert.

In 1967, Dylan recorded a version of the song with The Band on which he shares vocals with Richard Manuel which was included on various unofficial bootleg albums, before being officially released in 2014 on Dylan's album The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes Complete.[2]

In 2020, Dylan released a version of the song from a 1970 recording session with George Harrison on the limited edition issue, 50th Anniversary Collection: 1970.
