Michael Bublé walked onto the stage at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles in 2005 and delivered one of the great concert performances of his career. For the first time, all 33 tracks from that legendary 100-minute night are available in full on ‘Live! Caught In The Act’, out now on all streaming platforms and CD via Warner Records.
The original 2005 live album, ‘Caught In The Act’, only featured 8 songs. The 2006 quadruple platinum DVD captured more of the evening, and PBS aired portions of it on Great Performances. But the complete concert has never been released until now, and ‘Live! Caught In The Act’ finally gives the full picture.
The preview track “That’s All (Live)” arrived ahead of the release, and it’s the perfect introduction to what the full album delivers, a heartfelt, full-bodied vocal performance that captures exactly who Bublé was at that pivotal moment in his career.
This was Bublé on the rise, hungry and utterly committed to the crowd in front of him. Classics like “Come Fly With Me,” “How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You,” “Save The Last Dance For Me,” and “Moondance” sit alongside moments of genuine connection, handshakes and hugs with the audience, jokes from the stage, and the kind of host-level warmth that set him apart from the beginning.
Highlights include a duet with Laura Pausini on “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine” and a rendition of “Let It Snow” that, as Bublé himself suggested to the crowd, sounds like December no matter what time of year it plays.
Beyond the concert release, Bublé has had a remarkable stretch. He completed his third consecutive season as a coach on NBC’s The Voice, closing out Season 28 following back-to-back wins on Seasons 26 and 27. He performed at A Grammy Celebration of Latin Music, and in December made headlines with a historic performance at the Concert with the Poor, attended by Pope Leo XIV in what marked the first time a Pope was present at the event.
‘Live! Caught In The Act’ is essential listening for longtime fans and a remarkable entry point for anyone still discovering one of the 21st century’s great live entertainers.
