Caught in the Act (Michael Bublé album)

Caught in the Act is the second live album released by Canadian jazz singer Michael Bublé on November 15, 2005. It was filmed and recorded at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. The filmed concert was aired on PBS as an episode of Great Performances, and the show was subsequently released on DVD along with the audio CD to create the album package, although the audio disc only featured eight of the songs from the concert. In 2009, the video was also released in Blu-ray. The concert featured a few guest artists, including Laura Pausini and Chris Botti, as well as an unexpected comedic banter with Josh Groban.
