The first Rolling Stones album on which the song appeared was their 1969 compilation album, ''[[Through the Past, Darkly (Big Hits Vol. 2)]]'', one year after the single was released. Since then, it has appeared on numerous other Stones compilations, including ''[[Hot Rocks 1964–1971]]'' (1971), ''[[Rolled Gold: The Very Best of the Rolling Stones]]'' (1975), ''[[Singles Collection: The London Years]]'' (1989), ''[[Forty Licks]]'' (2002), ''[[GRRR!]]'' (2012), and ''Stray Cats'', a collection of singles and rarities included as part of ''[[The Rolling Stones in Mono]]'' box set (2016).

The Rolling Stones have played "Jumpin' Jack Flash" during every tour since its release. It is the song the band have played in concert most frequently,<ref name="ggsetlists">{{cite web |last=Galbraith |first=Gary |title=The Rocks Off Rolling Stones Setlists Page |url=http://rocksoff.org/gazzassetlists.htm |access-date=8 August 2008 |archive-date=29 July 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080729060957/http://rocksoff.org/gazzassetlists.htm |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="nzentgraf">{{cite web |last=Zentgraf |first=Nico |title=The Complete Works of the Rolling Stones 1962–2008 |url=http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/works1.htm |access-date=7 August 2008 |archive-date=20 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320065519/http://www.nzentgraf.de/books/tcw/works1.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> and has appeared on the concert albums ''[[Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! The Rolling Stones in Concert|Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!]]'' (recorded 1969, released 1970), ''[[Love You Live]]'' (recorded 1976, released 1977), ''[[Flashpoint (album)|Flashpoint]]'' (recorded 1990, released 1991), ''[[Shine a Light (The Rolling Stones album)|Shine a Light]]'' (recorded 2006, released 2008), ''[[Hyde Park Live]]'' (2013), ''[[Stripped (The Rolling Stones album)#Totally Stripped|Totally Stripped]]'' (recorded 1995, released 2016), and ''[[The Rolling Stones: Havana Moon|Havana Moon]]'' (2016), as well as, notably, ''[[The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (album)|The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus]]'' (recorded 1968, released 1996), featuring the only released live performance of the song with [[Brian Jones]]. Unlike most of that show, Jones is heard clearly, mixing with Richards's lead throughout the song. The intro is not usually played in concert and instead the song begins with the main riff. The open E or open D tuning of the rhythm guitar on the studio recording has also not been replicated in concert (with the possible exception of the 1968 [[NME]] awards show, no recording of which has ever surfaced). In the performance filmed for ''[[The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus]]'' in December 1968, Richards used standard tuning; and ever since the band's appearance at [[Hyde Park, London|Hyde Park]] on 5 July 1969, he has played it in [[open G tuning]] with a [[Capo (musical device)|capo]] on the fourth fret. Richards is particularly fond of the song's main riff, often crediting it as his favorite among all of his most revered guitar riffs.

A cover version of the song, performed by Billy Fogarty, was composed to serve as the final mission of the [[Nintendo DS]] [[rhythm game]] ''[[Elite Beat Agents]]'', in which the titular protagonists use their dancing skills to rally humanity against alien invaders who plan to outlaw all forms of music.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Middleton |first1=Brent |title=Music Lives!
