By the way, the Live 1980 version can be listened in the official live video in the F. Mac Youtube channel, but that is not the original audio of that video, is it?
I think I have watched that video in the past, long ago, and the audio was different, though I've not found a clip with the original audio I think I heard before. Does anyone else remember the same thing I do?

I don't think you're crazy. If I had to guess, they used the audio from this performance as the starting point for the polished version we hear on the live album. What we heard in this clip for years was probably the original raw audio before they added the overdubs. FM's camp went through a couple of years ago and upsampled a ton of videos, they probably synced the video with the updated audio, which is what we also hear on the live album. It would be next to impossible for the audio to sync with the video as well as it does if they were using a completely different audio than the original video.
The timing make sense because this video was definitely being used BEFORE the live album was released in '80.
