live

[Jonathan Lighter]

Not in OED.
 
From  Wakipedia, "Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus": "Repeatedly the New Testament states that Jesus' followers fell down and worshipped him -- live, in his presence."
 
I.e., "present in physical actuality" with no implied contrast to "electronically recorded."
 
Have encountered this usage many times - though not seriously until now.
