Common it is .Stress and adrenalin, to deal with you'll have. ;-)
Sometimes in studio, the sound engineer lets the performer play as if it was 
rehearsal or a level check but actually recording.
Of course you need a partner for that... oh and you can't tell him "please 
record but don't let me know"

That makes sense but with further practice (I mean without looking at your 
hands at all) your arms and shoulders can learn the keyboard span as if they 
came with a GPS (oh err bad example).
