If you know the song good enough there's no need to be nervous - Then you know you will deliver just like that!
But since there's a part you don't know that well I suggest to start working on it right away. If you can't master it, just replace it with something a bit simpler. I think the important thing is to be comfortable with the song and makeing the difficult parts easier in order to get there is alright. Is you start hesitating when playing that will be noticed by the audience and by yourself, and if you noticed that they noticed you played an error there's a risk the easier parts afterwards will not come out right either. Like Smells we always start with a no brainer just to get warmed up and confident. First couple of songs are just for warming up. But in your case with only one song to play you really got to know it well. So if you have time, get to work on it. Adjust the difficult part if nesseccary.. but then on stage, stick to the plan and don't start thinking about "which part should I play, the easy or the hard part?", play what you know! I'm sure with your mind set on it you'll do good tomorrow!

Just relax and have fun. But stay concentrated and you'll have a great gig

What should you do?? You should be chasing chicks right now
 Kidding...  .... the chicks will chase you after... and before the gig, just relax, and know that most of the people in the crowd are not musicians and don't know about mistakes. Just play, if you make a mistake and stop, make a joke, do a freeze poze, like elvis or something, and move on.
