 Here in the UK, John Peel (famous, justified and ancient old DJ with
 regular sessions on national radio featuring lesser known and
 less commercial music - until he plays it) has a scheme for
 describing live performance to include idm type bands. He describes
 performances as 'live' or 'live live', or 'live live live'. To give you an
 idea, he described Plaid as just live, Autechre as live live and Plone as 
 live live live (in that they plinkety plonk on their old analogues). >>

It's a classy adaptation of it (we should probably adopt it) but the version 
I heard was that 'live' was recorded live some time ago, 'live live' was 
recorded that day and 'live live live'  is as it happens. I could be wrong 
though.

Oh, and respect, as ever, is due to Peel... the first place I heard Ae... 
sigh...
