Their only notable Malaysian concert, with all song
re-arranged into unplugged version. The first song is trivia because Wong Ka Kui missed the correct pitch, but quickly restore
it in the first verses. It is done in blues style. The song selections is good, they seems to be very natural to be done in unplugged session and become a good version of it. This is also an important live recorded just before Wong Ka Kui passed away. 1993 National Indoor stadium
Kuala Lumpur.
Their most popular LIVE concert. Here comes Beyond in their fullest height. The live album was so popular that spread all the way to the South : Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia on pirated VCD at the time '90s. Its become the "standard" Hong Kong rock n roll video. The red stratocaster by Wong Ka Kui become his cult image. This album influence was beyond words at that time. The most memorable version in this album is rendition of The Earth 大地which done with percussion version. Another great performance is Silent Years 歲月無聲.
Their second professional live album, done in their very first success on Arabian Dancing Girl album. The VCD packing gives some more clips such as solos of all member. Notes that the CD song list order also different from the VCD version. We got to see the real talents of each member. The whole concert is widely available on Youtube, just search this.
Their first professionally done live recording. The package
also contained bonus CD of movie OST. The songs taken from their first three professional albums : Arabian Dancing Girl, Modern Stage and Secret Police,

This is Beyond's fifteenth album and also their last studio album as original three piece band. The album has no Mandarin title but just English title "Goodtime", just like in "Paradise" album. The album slightly return to guitar orientated sound. As in their previous two albums (Surprise and Until You Are Here), the album represented Beyond hyper modern era.
"Good Time" is nice alternative rock song with lots of guitar explorations. The English chorus lyric is quite memorable. "失蹤 Missing" is also a strong song with nice guitar chopped rhythm. "錯有錯著By Chance" is also not bad, the bluesy guitar lead in the intro is welcome by old time listener, indeed the song is quite old-times in style. "洗衣粉 Washing Power" is harder song, again very close to their Paradise-era. The album close with "hidden" track, "Evolution". It started after few seconds of silence.
Goodtime is actually quite strong album with all three members begin to employed their rock roots. Unfortunately this is also their farewell album. The band still released Live album after this.

Beyond Goodtime - released in November 1999, their last studio album
1998 不見不散 Until You Arrive Label: 滾石唱片 Rock Records (HK)
Until You Arrive / 不見不散 is Beyond's 14 studio album, sing mainly in Cantonese and released in December 1998. The album continued Beyond ultra modern sounds. Leave little trace of what done in Paradise album, which itself still very connected to Wong Ka Kui's era. Starting their previous album (Surprise) and this one, Beyond already left their root many miles behind.
The opening track "Sunday 星期天" is calm pop-rock style song. "犧牲 Sacrifice" is quite acoustic in mood. The upbeat song is "蚊 Mosquito", where the guitar riffs is very alternative rock in style. While "時日無多 Last Day" is a recalled of bluesy-rock guitar play. The harder song is "扯火 Fury" with at least leading distortion to be heard. The title song "不見不散 Until You Arrive" is quite ambient techno rock song. The album finished with instrumental "Phantom Power" with some slapping funky bass line and finally guitar solos.
