The CD single of "When You're Gone" also included a solo version by Adams. The song is frequently featured at Adams' concerts. He usually picks a female out of the audience to sing the song with him. As such, it appears on several CD and DVD releases. In recent years, he also performed it entirely solo, both fully acoustic and with his full band.

Melanie C regularly features the song in her live concerts, with guitarist Greg Hatwell singing Adams' parts. The song is included on her live DVD Live Hits. Melanie C and Bryan Adams have played the song together a couple of times in concert. Duet versions have been released on the singles for Adams' "Cloud Number Nine" (1999) and on Melanie C's "If That Were Me" (2000).

In 2005, Adams re-recorded the song with Pamela Anderson for the US release of the Anthology greatest hits album. The new version was released to radio as a single.
