In my opinion, it's just a matter of experience. Play as many gigs as you can and you'll enjoy your live shows. Sometimes even a seasoned player can feel some tension before going on stage in some special occasion but it's just fine as long as we keep control of our instruments.

I played a lot of shows but I do get the stage fright from time to time. What it does to me is actually something positive - I get much more concentrated on what I'm playing and somehow everything sounds in "slow motion" It's a weird feeling. Negative effect is that it tends to make my hands cold so It harder to play

For me it passes as soon as I get on stage. Stage freight is something that happens just before I start to play, and it's a mild nervous feeling with slightly increased heartbeat rate.
I think Cosmin (and his teacher before him! ) has a strong point there: The purpose of a gig is to go out there and have fun. If you are having fun, audience will have fun as well, they will feel the energy, and give it back. If you are stuck, stiff, sweating, and don't let your emotions flow (and don't do something crazy on stage), it will not be that great. Of course it depends on the audience as well. Lots of great crowd that yells and have fun will have lots of positive effect on performers, so it's a two-way interaction. I played somewhere around 200 gigs now, and one thing I've learned is this: Audience remembers unique people on stage, people without fear to do what they want, to be free on stage. If you're free on stage, you can be sure you will win the audience's respect. If not, they will not remember you.
