'On Stage' was recorded live over several German and Japanese dates in late 1976 during the 'Rising' world tour. Many of the tracks were spliced together from different dates by producer Martin Birch, and the running order was changed to more easily fit four sides of vinyl.
The recording features the customary introduction to a Rainbow show - the classic quote from the The Wizard of Oz, "Toto: I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. We must be over the rainbow!" with the last word repeated as an echo, then the actual band plays a musical phrase from the song 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' before breaking into 'Kill the King'.
