When I was a kid in the 70's and 80's, on Saturday mornings ABC would end
thier cartoon block by showing American Bandstand.  Each week they woud have
a live guest appear, however it was clear they were lip syncing (no cords on
guitars.)  On youtube I catch old "live" performances from other shows, and
even ran into some performances where the singer is live, but the backing trac
k was taped.  An example was the Byrds playing on a variety show, and it
sounds like it was a drag in the tape when the show was recorded, but you
could hear David Crosby attempt to adjust for the audio hiccup.  The only
reason I could imagine them doing a partially taped show is because Roger
McGuinn's guitar sound was heavily processed by 1960's standards, and it was
probably recorded in a studio where the compressor and other gear was set up.
