The recording boasts the best sound quality among Isis' live releases, having been recorded and mixed by drummer Aaron Harris and mastered by James Plotkin. Live VI is also notable for being the most diverse live recording by Isis, featuring material from six different albums (including early EP's Mosquito Control and The Red Sea).

The band had hinted at a release for months through their Facebook page, with Live VI being the fulfillment of that promise.[1]
