Live at the Venetian, Las Vegas is a digital album by Blue Man Group, released through the iTunes Store on July 25, 2006. The 10-track album is a live recording of the group's performance in the custom-built 1,750-seat theater at The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, where the group has been performing since October 2003.[1] The album features seven songs from the album Audio and one song from The Complex ("Time to Start"). The two other tracks on the album, "Feast Picking" and "Chant Jam," are based off of previous songs from the group's first two albums. A series of Blue Man Group Podcasts have also been released to help promote both the album and the show itself.

A live version of "Rods and Cones" was released as a digital single two weeks before the release of the album, on July 11, 2006. A video of the live performance of "Rods and Cones" has also been released on iTunes, which marks the first time that a Blue Man Group theatrical performance has been released to the public.[2]
