Rockin' Tour Live! was the second VeggieTales Live! show. It toured with a first leg from July to September 2005, followed by a second leg from March to May 2006.
Synopsis
Don't be alarmed -- Bob the Tomato, our stage manager, will be making sure that your favorite VeggieTales songs will be sung true to their original creation! You know, sometimes it's hard to keep the vegetables in line. We've decided to call this the VeggieTales Rockin' Tour LIVE because we are bringing all of your favorite silly songs, lots of energy, and high quality veggie action straight to you.
The first half will be a blast with our VeggieTales band, host Jessie, her crew of dancers and singers pumping up the kids with familiar songs and other fun-filled music. As a special treat, Jessie will also introduce our newest veggie friend, Merché. She is an amazing, 13-year-old singer and dancer that you are going to love. The first half will be fun -- filled with the familiar and the new, perfect for kids of all ages.
The second half of the show will be filled with all of your favorite VeggieTales songs. It's Bob and Larry's first rock concert and Bob is in charge. Once again Bob and Larry are on an adventure... one that will bring many surprises, large microphones, life lessons, and a rockin' good time for all involved. Larry decides that he wants to be the road manager because Bob doesn't give him a role, and that's where Jessie steps in. Our interactive video screens, lighting show, and surprises will get everyone excited, dancing and singing along with every word.

Fun Facts
Trivia
- This was promoted on the DVD and VHS prints of Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler.
- This is the first live show of a few things:
- The first live show to feature Mr. Lunt.
- The first live show where the theme song does not play at the beginning of the show.
- The first live show to be a song compilation, as would be the norm for the others that followed.
- This is the only live show of a few things:
- The only live show to feature the original versions of The Hairbrush Song and I Can Be Your Friend as future live shows would use the Boyz in the Sink versions of the former two songs. This is also one of two live shows (the other being VeggieTales Live: Little Kids Do Big Things!) to feature the original version of The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, as most live shows with said song would use the remix from Jonah Sing-Along Songs and More!.
- The only live show to feature Larry-Boy (not counting clips of him being shown on a screen in the previous live show).
- The only live show to use a newer version of God is Bigger.
- This is one of two live shows to not use the live show version of the theme song, the other being A Very Veggie Christmas Live!. Instead, a rock remix of the theme song plays at the end of this show.
- Both Pizza Angel and My Baby Elf played before the show.
- Pa Grape replaced Khalil in Bellybutton.
- The first leg of this tour had the first half include non-veggie content, while veggie content was in the second half. The second leg had the show be entirely veggie centered.[2]
- Some songs in the show have extended intros that were never heard before.
- Some clips can be featured during Larry-Boy Theme Song. These include:
- Larry-Boy! and the Fib from Outer Space!
- Larry-Boy and the Rumor Weed
- LarryBoy and the Bad Apple (known as LarryBoy Returns 2006, which the 2005 teaser trailer was first seen on the VHS and DVD release of Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Samson's Hairbrush)
