Well, thanks, you must have been distracted at all the points where I messed up :-)
Part of the issue is that hardly anyone ever thinks they played perfectly, and it's all a matter of degree. There's out and out screwups, where you fall apart and have to stop, and then there's a missed note here and there, and then there's more subtle issues. As we progress, hopefully our "mistakes" get smaller and smaller to the point that the audience would never recognize them, but we will probably always know that some part didn't come out the way we intended. When we're live, those moments pass and are gone - and with any luck, the audience missed it. On a recording, they live forever.
