On Stage is a live album released by Rainbow in 1977. The album features a cover of a song from Blackmore's previous band Deep Purple; 'Mistreated'.

The album 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.

A more representative example of a Rainbow concert of the time was the 1991 release Live in Germany.

A remastered CD was released in May 1999, restoring the full artwork that had graced the original gatefold-sleeve vinyl release, with picture-bag liners.

In the beginning, the electric guitar could been heard with the classic quote from the The Wizard of Oz (1939 film), "We must be over the rainbow!" with the last word (rainbow) repeated a couple of times.

All songs written by Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore except where indicated.

  1. "Kill the King" (Dio, Blackmore, Cozy Powell) – 5:32
  2. "Medley: Man on the Silver Mountain/Blues/Starstruck" – 11:12
  3. "Catch the Rainbow" – 15:35
  4. "Mistreated" (David Coverdale, Blackmore) – 13:03
  5. "Sixteenth Century Greensleeves" – 7:36
  6. "Still I'm Sad" (Paul Samwell-Smith, Jim McCarty) – 11:01

  • 1977 - Kill The King/Man On the Silver Mountain (edited)/Mistreated (edited)


This single was also re-released in the UK in July 1981.
