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 7 July 1977, before being released a week later on 15 July in the UK.
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.

Poor Mike Oldfield. Whenever he makes a record in the Tubular Bells series, it sells well and serves as a reminder that he has always been an innovator. If he calls it anything else, it drifts away. Tres Lunas won't buck the trend. Heralded on the cover as "Mike Oldfield's chill out", its relaxation quotient is diminished by a second disc which claims to be an interactive PC game, but is rendered unplayable by labyrinthine, nonsensical formalities. Once calmness has been restored, Tres Lunas has its moments of loveliness, particularly the appositely titled Sirius. It is essentially mid-paced, but always melodic, buffeted along by Oldfield's flamenco guitar. He is no Robert Miles, but Oldfield does understand that "chill out" need not equate with "bland". Return to the Origin has the Euro-sensuality of Enigma; Landfall and Firefly cheekily echo the Tubular Bells and Killing Fields themes respectively and To Be Free is a proper song with vocals and chorus. Hardly a landmark, but hardly the last gasp of a washed-up old fool either.
