Rainbow : On Stage


I HAVE A FEELING 
WE'RE NOT IN 
KANSAS ANYMORE
WE MUST BE 
OVER THE RAINBOW....






On Stage

 is a 

double

 live album 

originally released

 by the

 British

 Hard Rock band

 Rainbow

 in 1977.

 It was recorded

 live over several

 German and Japanese

 dates in late 1976

 during the 

Rising world tour.

 The album was

 released first in

 the US

 on

 July,7th 1977, 

before being released

a week later on

 July,15th

 in the UK.

Recording

The recording features

 the customary introduction

 to a Rainbow show

  the classic quote

 from 

The Wizard of Oz

"Toto: I have 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

 "Over the Rainbow" 

before breaking into

 "Kill the King".

A few of the tracks 

were edited by

 producer 

Martin Birch. 

Mistreated 

has the 

guitar/vocal 

duel removed,

 the "Lazy" introduction

 to 

"Man on the Silver Mountain", 

the drum solo

 has been omitted from

 "Still I'm Sad",

 and the running order

 was changed to more

 easily fit 

four sides of vinyl.
