in quite a few cases there's a somewhat disappointing answer to this:
of course, some recordings have actually been done in the bbc studios (more or less "live", meaning: with or without overdubs) for broadcasts. but even more so-called bbc recordings are based on the original recordings. many bbc studio sessions (check the who or status quo, for example) were nothing more than the original backing tracks, mixed slightly differently (thus with a different sound) with a new set of vocals on top.
what definitely was live, though, were the "in concert" series of recordings and the likes, being recorded in front of an audience at places like the paris theatre in london (like the live set on disc 2 of the "show-biz blues" double cd).
i hope this helps, lespaul7.
