Morphology
The meaning 'executed or presented in real-time in front of an audience' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'perform' (to present publicly) with 'live' (happening now/in front of an audience). This compositional pattern is common and predictable across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
The phrase performed live comes from the picture of a performer on stage: performed means to do the show and live means it is happening 'right now' with people watching. So, it means the show was presented in front of an audience rather than being 'recorded'.
