Each night of the tour was recorded and released both separately and as part of a box set entitled Back to Front: Encore Series. The releases were limited editions and available exclusively from Gabriel's official website.[2]
On 23 June 2014, Real World Records and Eagle Rock Entertainment released the live album and film Back to Front: Live in London, recorded at the O2 concerts.
Gabriel played new original songs, "O But" and "What Lies Ahead", during the tour.[3] John Cusack appeared at the 6 October 2012 concert in Los Angeles, recreating a scene from Say Anything... (1989).[4]
Dave McKenna of The Washington Post described the 14 October 2012 concert in Fairfax as "great".[5]
