So far, in my relatively limited experience in the musical world, audiences don't notice if you miss a note or two during a live performance. They do notice if you are playing well within your comfort zone, as the performance lacks some energy. When I prepare a piece, I am always able to play it straight down consistently before the performance without missing a note--in the practice room. There really is no practice for live performance except doing it. As my teacher is frequently telling me, when you walk onto that stage, it's time to let it out and light up that audience. Good technique helps to overcome nerves, but I've never yet had a performance where something wasn't different from rehearsal/practice. This is OK, and is part of what makes performing fun. However, if all somebody worries about is notes, then they will be a good player and probably a good musician, and will also probably leave their best performances in the practice room. On stage, it's time quit thinking, and play.
Does this answer the question? Probably not. But I've never walked away from a Virtual Max performance, or David Hall, or Evelyn Glennie thinking "that would have been awesome except for those few wrong notes." (Not that they screw up frequently) I have left knowing that what they do is something I can aspire to.
