1976年12月の初来日での模様を収録した,オフィシャル・ライブ・アルバム 『 On Stage (レインボー・オン・ステージ) 』 を,1977年7月にリリースした レインボー(Rainbow)は,1977年9月25日スウェーデンはストックホルムのコンセルサス公演を皮切りに 「 On Stage Tour 」 と銘打ったアルバム・プロモーションの為のツアーを開始します.
 このツアーは,北欧~欧州~英国を回り,1ヵ月強のブレイクを挟み,ツアーの一環として再来日を果たします.

 本商品は 「 On Stage Tour 」として,9月25日スウェーデンはストックホルムのコンセルサス公演を皮切りに行われた北欧ツアーに次いで,10月4日オランダはデン・ハーグ(=ハーグ:The Hague)のコンセルトヘボウ公演を皮切りに,10月28日フランスはコルマールのパレ・デ・エクスポジション公演まで行われた欧州ツアーから,欧州ツアー中盤に当たる10月20日ドイツはミュンヘンのオリンピアハレ公演のサウンドボード録音を収録し Fire Powerレーベルから2000年にリリースされた 『 Still I'm Sad (FP-0049-A/B) 』 で,2月22日に海外に眠っていたデッド・ストック分が販売されたもの.

 2000年にリリースされた関係でしょうか,今回のデッド・ストックに関しては,メーカー情報が記載されていませんでしたが,この公演は,オフィシャル映像 『 Live In Munich 1977 (~ライヴ・イン・ミュンヘン 1977) 』 としても知られている公演なのです.

 サウンドボード録音なので,初心者でも楽しめる内容ですが,既に本商品自体が市場には無いんですかね.
