DVD/Recording

All Concerts in the tour were filmed for, what Aguilera said was her "Personal Collection" however a DVD titled "" 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, Her Husband "Jordan Bratman", Her Band, Backing Vocalists, Musical Director and Dancers. The DVD was to include an interview with the choreographer "Jeri Slaughter" but he was on business during recording.

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.
