No one will notice when you screw up, so just roll with it.

Honestly, once you get on stage the adrenaline takes over and you don't even notice what else is going on. I played at a bar one time and they had poker on TV.. both me and the bass player started watching poker and weren't paying attention to where we were in the song, but still played everything right. I stopped after about 30 seconds and had no clue where I was in the song, but I'd just kept playing along fine.
