Actually it depends on the arena and the set up. say if u have watched that Kariakal concert, you dont see much orechestra and musicians but still you have the feel of the original song. Its tough , so you can say that is lip synching as finally what audience care is the output.
But concerts like LA and other concerts where there is huge set up for the concert, its not lip synching ,its live as you can see some additional effects better than the original. Rahman doest do lip synching(99% of his concerts except that Kariakl thing ,you can accept that), but most of the singers do lip synching on stage and if at all a singer dances and singes on stage then 99% be sure that it is lip synching atleast the audio part is pre recorded.
