Live or not?

As with the CD-only version, there is no mention of "live" for the CD anywhere, and "Recorded (Live) at Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado in September 2014" only appears in connection with the DVD.
Furthermore, a different "DVD Band" is listed explicitly:

Jon Anderson Lead vocals
Jean Luc Ponty Violins
Baron Browne Bass
Jamie Dunlap Guitars
Rayford Griffin Drums and percussion
Wally Minko Keyboards
All guitars re recorded by Jamie Glasser

The last line indicates that all guitars were played by Jamie Glaser. In fact, these are the same recordings as on the "studio" CD, except that applause and some announcements were mixed in.
The live recording on which it was based was extensively reworked, resulting in a great studio CD. ...and with applause and video an equally convincing "BONUS DVD (Live)". (for details see Wikipedia)
