On the Boards is the second album by Irish rock band Taste, released on 1 January 1970, after being recorded 13 months earlier in December 1968. It is their final studio album and the release that brought Rory Gallagher to prominence, reaching number 18 on the UK Albums Chart.[3] Reviewers have praised its variety and the precision of its ensemble playing, and noted the jazz inflections of Gallagher's guitar and his unaffected vocals. Lester Bangs dubbed it "impressive... progressive blues".[4]
