Quite a few live recordings have overdubs as all kinds of stuff happens. A pickup fails or a mic started distorting etc. A good mastering engineer can put an overdub in perspective. Frank Zappa was famous for this. Let me know what you think of Graceland. I listen on a line source system and the perspective might be different on a point source which is what most studios use for monitoring. I don't think so as it is usually just a change in sound stage not the relative position of the instruments.
The way Graceland was mastered originally (has it been remastered?) it sounds as if the engineer wanted to make sure you could hear every detail of every instrument so he moved them all up front. The detail is attractive but a bit surreal. If he had moved Paul's voice up front he would have been way to loud.
