BAO på turné is the first live album by Benny Anderssons Orkester, released in spring 2006.
After two studio albums, Benny Anderssons Orkester, current group of former ABBA member Benny Andersson, released its first live album in May 2006. Recording for the album took place during the group's summer tour the previous year in the towns of Örebro and Leksand. As Benny Anderssons Orkester did not tour in 2006, this live album was seen as a kind of compensation for the otherwise missing concert experience.
Ever since the start of the group in 2001, Benny Anderssons Orkester were famous for their mini-tours of Sweden each summer. Though only including about ten dates each year, these tours and the group itself are considered an important part of the Swedish summer. Whereas the two previous studio albums included nothing but new and original compositions by Benny Andersson, their concert set-list offers a much wider range of musical contributions. Normally lasting up to three hours, these concerts also include compositions by other members of Benny Anderssons Orkester, mainly by the members of Orsa Spelmän, traditional Swedish folk music, international classics (like O sole mio or Moon River), classical tunes by the likes of Johann Sebastian Bach (Badinerie) and vene some old ABBA compositions. "BAO på turné", which only includes parts of what a whole concert would normally offer, therefore concentrates more on these unusual numbers, with the famous original BAO tunes being interspersed.
