Live
The Rolling Stones performed "Tumbling Dice" live for the first time on 3 June 1972 at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, British Columbia, at the start of their 1972 North American Tour. Since then, only four regular tour concerts and a handful of benefit shows have not included "Tumbling Dice". On 5 June 1982, ten years and two days after the Stones first performed it, they left the song off the set list. The first two nights of the 1999 No Security Tour did not feature "Tumbling Dice" making them the first regular tour concerts in 17 years not to feature "Tumbling Dice". On 17 September 2005 "Tumbling Dice" was missing from the set list of a show on the A Bigger Bang Tour.
Linda Ronstadt joined the Rolling Stones onstage to sing "Tumbling Dice" on 21 July 1978.
Three live versions have been released on commercially available CDs. A live version of the song was recorded for Stripped, the live album that documented the Voodoo Lounge Tour, but was not a song on that album. The recording crossfades from a backstage vocal rehearsal of the song on solo piano to an onstage performance of the song. The backstage rehearsal was recorded at the Olympia Theatre, Paris, France on 3 July 1995. The live performance happened at Joe Robbie Stadium, Miami, Florida on 25 November 1994. This recording can be found on Rarities 1971-2003. Love You Live features a version recorded on 7 June 1976 at Les Abattoirs, Paris, France. The 2008 release Shine a Light captures a performance from the 2006 leg of the A Bigger Bang Tour.
Five live concert films have included "Tumbling Dice": Ladies and Gentlemen The Rolling Stones (1974), Rolling Stones - Live at the Max (1992), Rolling Stones - Voodoo Lounge (1995), Rolling Stones - Bridges to Babylon Tour '97-'98: Live in Concert (1998), Rolling Stones - Four Flicks (2004), and The Biggest Bang (2007).
On 21 May 1972, Top of the Pops broadcast a film made of the Stones rehearsing "Tumbling Dice" in Montreaux for the 1972 tour. On 27 May 1972 The Old Grey Whistle Test showed the same footage.

Deep in a sewer dungeon under stone
In fetid darkness still to live and run....”
