Generally speaking, her early concerts 2000-2002 were completely live. A-Museum, I would have to go back and watch the tv version again, but there are a few questionable ones.(Greatful Days in particular comes to mind) Most of the time though, I agree with you that her vocals in that concert were amazing.
From that time on (with the exception of TA live), all of her concerts have some questionable performances, some of which have actually been proven.

Not according to several reports. Even someone from this forum reported seeing her mouth completely different words during Energize.

I think it depends a lot on whether its your first time seeing Ayu or not. They'll have a tendency to view things with rose colored glasses more than someone who has seen her live several times.(I know because I was the same way^_^) Or if several reports are stating the same thing, then obviously that should be given a bit more credibility than the one report from a fan who thinks everything is live.

And I also LOVE some of the performances I think that were playback(Marionette in AT08 belongs to my favourite ever performances though I think it was playback)

Exactly my sentiments as well.
And btw, I don't recall any kind of official announcement from Avex regarding lip synching at 02/03. I don't think they would ever do that. I do remember thinking though that concert was surprisingly LIVE considering the condition of her voice. I would have thought she would have lip synched more actually. The DVD of that concert though is a prime example of editing. Her mic didn't even work at all for a good portion of Everywhere, Nowhere, yet her voice is perfect on the DVD.
edit: I take back what I said about Greatful Days in A-Museum. I dug up the tv version of A-museum this afternoon (which was filmed on a different date than the DVD) and it definitely sounds live. The DVD probably features a lot of editing which would explain why so many in that concert could appear lip synched at first glance.
