After listening to his previous bluray release (Chris Isaak: Live / Greatest Hits: Live [Blu-ray] (2005)):

I was expecting the same level of video and audio quality. Unfortunately this production falls far short in both areas. The audio level is quite low and the audience applause seems to much more elevated in the rear channels. In addition fast moving objects have a strobe-like effect -- similar to a 24fps->30fps transfer without motion compensation. Whoever did the mastering on this disc obviously did not know what they were doing. Finally, for whatever reason, they cut out the Wanda Jackson parts. So if you're expecting the same performance that was broadcast on PBS you'll be disappointed.
I'm a huge Isaak fan and this disc is a disservice to him and his band.
Disappointing
This DVD only goes for 55 minutes which is disappointing when you see the song list in the bonus material. Sound quality is good and performance is great which is not unexpected if you have ever seen Chris Isaak live.
Beyond the Sun Live Does Not Feature Much from Beyond
Only 14 songs featured out of a concert that had well over 20 songs and only five tracks were featured from Beyond the Sun recording. Performance of all tracks are first rate though.
