Your wish is granted in the TapeOP interview. Visconti says the disc 
is 20% live, 80% overdubbed. He talks in some detail about the 
sessions. I guessthey didn't intend to do so many overdubs, it all 
started with Lynott redoing his bass parts and snowballed from there. 
Some of the tracks were recorded at soundchecks, so they even had to 
overdub the audience!
