"that's great rod, but isn't he singing over a backing track?"
Killjoy! Just kidding--I didn't want to believe it, but I listened closely and you're absolutely right. Not that I have some high-minded objection against lip-synching--I used to be Rob Pilatus's vocal coach--but a big part of why I love the clip so much is how seemingly spontaneous everything is (kind of how Greil Marcus describes "Every Picture Tells a Story"), and that's now lost.

Sorry, Clemenza, but look at it this way, the Rod vocal is absolutely live and the charming stuff with the lyric sheet attests...that must be pretty rare to hear that song sung live in 1972. I have a tendency to undermine, I know, and am working on it!

there's one other clip of him on youtube where looks to be about 85. it's funny to see him flapping his gums and doing a little hop for old time's sake, but yeah, I wish there was more footage of him from any era. I have a feeling that his studio records, as punchy as they are, don't capture all the excitement of his live sets.
