[edit] Live Performances

The driving drumbeat and catchy chorus of "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" have made it a crowd favourite during live performances. It has the distinction of being one of the few Bon Jovi songs to be played at virtually every live concert since its introduction. It is often incorporated into a medley with a cover song inserted into the middle, such as Jumpin' Jack Flash by The Rolling Stones, or Papa Was a Rollin' Stone by The Undisputed Truth.

Concert footage of "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" can be viewed on the Live From London and The Crush Tour DVDs.
