Reception

Reviews for the concert were very favorable.

Broadcasts and recordings

Main article: Back to Basics: Live and Down Under

All concerts in the tour were filmed for, what Aguilera said was her "Personal Collection" however a DVD titled Back to Basics: Live and Down Under came out on February 5, 2008. This was not the original release date, due to a copyright argument with the management, and, much like the Stripped Live in the UK, it accompanies a full length Show, from the Australian tour Shows in Adelaide as well as snippets from her Sydney shows and interviews with Aguilera, Jordan Bratman, her band and crew.

The DVD was originally set to be released on December 10, 2007 in the UK and the week after in the USA, but Aguilera had to postpone the release as she spoke openly about her pregnancy on the DVD interview and she had signed a magazine deal stating she wasn't to speak about her pregnancy at any time before the magazine release.
