Recording

Recorded at Columbia Music Row Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 9, 1966,[1] the instrumental track features members of the A-Team of studio musicians, including Charlie McCoy on trumpet, Kenny Buttrey on drums, Hargus "Pig" Robbins on piano, Jerry Kennedy, Joe South, and Wayne Moss on guitar, Bill Aikins on organ, and Henry Strzelecki on bass, along with guitarist Robbie Robertson.

Live performances

"Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine" gained significant visibility when it was frequently the concert opening and encore song on the Bob Dylan and The Band 1974 Tour.[2] One such performance was included later that year as the first track on the resulting live album, Before the Flood. On this version, Dylan shouts out the last word of each verse for emphasis, but he did not always do so during the tour. Released as a single, it reached number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100.

2007 version

Mark Ronson reworked and remixed the song in promotion for Dylan's 2007 compilation Dylan. Despite not appearing on the album, this version was released as an online single. A music video of the song is available on Dylan's official website. This version also charted at number 51 in the UK.
