Were the 30 Rock Live episodes shot at 30 Rock?

Were the 30 Rock live episodes, one each from seasons 5 and 6 shot from studio 6H at 30 Rock itself or were they shot at a different location? Since there were at least more than 4 different sets in that same one episode, were portions of it shot live and others prerecorded, like how SNL does it for its sketches frequently?
