if it doesn't make you nervous to drive on the highway, it shouldn't make you nervous to perform. the worst thing that can happen to you performing is making an ass of yourself (unless you're leonard warren). you can die in a car.
what i think makes people nervous when they perform are poor preparation and expectations that exceed the likely reality. wishing doesn't make it so and trying to control things that one has no control over (the audience's reaction, for example) is a waste of effort best put somewhere else.
