Album Description:
Sensational young crooner Michael Buble stars in his first "Great Performances" PBS special this holiday season: that and his August live performance at the Wiltern in Los Angeles will be seen and heard in this CD/DVD package. Now Buble takes yet another giant step in his meteoric career.

Amazon.com:
In the opening track of this live CD, Michael Bublé explodes "I'm feeeling GOOD!" Who could blame him? He's backed by a big--make that a really big--band, and the song sounds like a million bucks. You may quibble that Bublé is a nice fellow who's a bit lacking in both the charisma and swing departments, but the music here percolates with bouncing energing--just listen to "Summer Wind" or "The More I See You" to see how glorious arrangements (by Johnny Mandel and John Clayton Jr., respectively) can propulse a reasonably gifted but by no means transcendent singer into the stratosphere. Best of all, Bublé once again shows his ability to seamlessly bridge eras and styles by offering stylistically consistent covers of the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love" (done swing-style) and Lou Rawls' 1976 hit "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" (done crooner-style in a duet with Italian singer Laura Pausini). (The DVD offers up a similar take on Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," for instance.) The DVD portion of this combo set doubles the ante by offering 18 tracks (plus a bonus "Song for You" with Chris Botti) to the CD's 8. There's also a 20-minute backstage featurette showing what goes into the preparation for the show. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

But it has regioncode 1, not suitable for DVD players with limitations,
i.e. in Europe. (RC 2)

- good concert
This CD/DVD combo package is a concert that Michael Buble did for PBS a few years ago. He does a wonderful job singing classic jazz and pop standards. I also enjoyed his original song, Home, which he wrote. Michael is definitely a fresh of breath air in today's music scene.

- Michael Buble
I hated this dvd. The only reason I gave it two stars is because when he is singing it's great. I was very disappointed that it didn't have a song menu so you could jump from song to song. It was unbearable to listen to his banter with the audience/camera man. Too immature! I would have been fine if he were not trying to be so cutsey. Seems like he's full of himself. Would not recommend it for that reason.

- Awesome!!!
Caught in the Act
This DVD/cd combo rocks! If you are a Buble fan...you need to own this.
The DVD is at least an hour or more and he is preforming a lot of his hits. If you have ever been to his concerts, this will bring back a lot of memories...if not, it will make you want to go see one!!!
JUST BUY IT!

- I LOVED BEING "CAUGHT IN THE ACT"
I loved this CD and DVD combo. The DVD I play over and over. Michael Buble is such a talented performer. It lifts my spirit evertime I watch the DVD or listen to the CD. I have all of Michael's CD's and DVD's. I would recommend Caught in the Act to anyone.
