For anyone who is a christina fan and who has been anticipating this Dvd concert it is awsome just like the live concert, I was lucky enough to see her in Houston, Tx and that was her first performance of this tour. Oh yeah a good thing to know when trying to get this dvd is that they only sell this at Best Buy thats why amazon says they don't have it in stock.

My girl Xtina bought it home with this DVD. It's an awesome concert - much different from her Stripped tour and better in my opinion. There are different set changes which range from a Jook Joint to a Circus. Also love the costumes on Xtina. Here's the setlist
1. Intro (Back To Basics) - the same intro from the BTB album
2. Ain't No Other Man - awesome performance
3. Back In The Day
4. Understand - my favorite song from the album and the vocals are excellent.
5. Come On Over (Jazz Version) - I like the performance. However, I prefer the radio version of COO than this one.
6. Slow Down Baby
7. Still Dirrty/Can't Hold Us Down - Xtina's still got the nasty in her. Very sexy performance
8. Interlude - I Got Trouble - a very raunchy video of Xtina at her nastiest. It seems like you're watching a porno.
9. Makes Me Wanna Pray - how ironic is that? after the raunchy video of Trouble she bursts onto singing MMWP. Great performance though
10. What A Girl Wants (Reggae Version) - Liked it! At first, I was wondering why she would sing a reggae version of this song, but after hearing it, I enjoyed it.
11. Oh Mother - Wow. A very disturbing video in the background as Xtina sings her heart out.
12. Enter The Circus/Welcome - this is where the stage becomes the set of a circus. Really cool performance by Xtina and her dancers.
13. Dirrty - one of my favorite performances from the show. She's singing on a carousel horse while her female dancers are swinging from poles attached to the stage. A man's fantasy :)
14. Candyman - a hot performance
15. Nasty Naughty Boy - she pulls a guy out of the audience, straps him up, and sings her song with her dancers. Very hot
16. Hurt - another one of my favorite songs from her album. the set changes into a night set which is very interesting.
17. Lady Marmalade - she sings the full version!! Great and hot!
18. Interlude - Thank You - a video of her song Thank You including her fans from around the world.
19. Beautiful - Great of course.
20. Fighter - the final peformance.
An awesome tour. If anyone likes the Stripped Tour, they will definitely love this tour. She went Back To Basics to where it all began. Go Xtina.

Since I was unable to see the top female tour of 2007 live, as soon as I heard "Back to Basics:Live and Down Under" was going on DVD to Best Buy, I had to go get it asap. And I must say, I am more jealous than ever of those who saw it in person. Because even Christina Aguilera in my living room was an unbelievable experience!
While Christina has always been an amazing singer, she has not gone all out performance wise. This time, however, she stepped it up, and included theatrical dancing, extensive props, video clips, and crowd participation along with her "voice of this generation".
Christina truly is a one-woman show, and considering that she was in her first trimester of pregnancy during this concert is just mind-boggling!
Many of the songs on 2006's Back to Basics were clearly meant to be performed live. Skippable tracks on the album such as "Welcome" and "Nasty, Naughty Boy" are highlights of the show, especially with a "volunteer" for the latter song.
Other highlights are the beautiful "Hurt", solo rendition of "Lady Marmalade", fun and spunky "Candyman", intro "Ain't No Other Man", and powerful encores "Beautiful" and "Fighter".
I highly recommend this dvd, for anyone who enjoys a great show.
 POWERFUL VOCALS, GREAT SHOW......BUT March 26, 2009

Christina's Back to Basics tour is quite a splendour to watch, it is clear that she has matured in many ways than one. What I love about this young talented woman is that she took the reigns of her career into her own control, others like Britney, although very successful, had their careers controlled from the word go (only now is she having more creative freedom) no wonder she had a break down. Christina however had it with doing what others expected her to do and only after her first album broke away with "Stripped" it shocked us a little but her talent shone through and she never turned back. This extended to her project "Back to Basics" her most mature work. This DVD is spectacular amazing costumes, incredible (and I mean amazing choreography and dancers) and the cherry on the cake, Christina's mind-blowing vocals, man can she let it rip. A Jamie King production, so you know its good, I mean look at Jamie's work with Madonna's "Reinvention, Confessions and Sticky and Sweet tours as well as Ricky Martins "Black and White tour" masterpieces to say the least. I absolutely enjoyed the "Welcome to the Circus" section, a visual masterpiece.
The only reason why I did not give this DVD 5 stars is that I felt too many of her classic hits were redone (different versions) e.g Come on over, What a girl wants, the only track that was original was the closing track "Fighter", I love to hear my favourite songs the way they are, although stars like Madonna have done a good job of reinventing past songs, e.g Erotica (Confessions Tour). Apart from that Christina rocks again, oh and did I mention that this woman can sing?
Best album ever July 7, 2008

I think this is one of the best performances ever made by Christina Aguilera. Congratulations!! I'll never forget this tour, I went from Barcelona to London anly to see her!
