"Live" Performances aka 'Mime' Performances

What is it with artists miming when they are supposedly playing "Live"?

Kelly Jones did it at the weekend during the Stereophonics performance before the NFL at Wembley Stadium. He has an incredible voice live and sounds great..... why bother miming?

I know it maybe because it's too short a performance to do all the mixing and all that but, at least if you are going to do it, don't make it so obvious! Just like at cd:uk a while back!
