Shows like this don't have to be pre recorded, but they are because it's easier and safer, and i'm sure the NFL forces or persuades artists to do it this way.
Music is an art, and part of art is the reality and rawness of the art. Going to a concert to see the artist lip synch is not what most people want to see. If that person can't stack up without pre recorded tracks, too bad for them.
Take a look at a band like Whitehorse and all the instruments and looping devices 2 people play during a song to make a great piece of music.
Obviously the Superbowl is a different animal all together but in my opinon, great artists don't lip synch, whether we're talking about voice or instrumental tracks.
