To an extent... the situation here is an extreme (if all too common) case, but unless you're a really big name with hundreds of attentive fans, the live situation isn't going to be as perfect for listening as someone sitting at home with big headphones on - if your music needs that sort of environment to work[1] then you may have to alter it somewhat in a real-world live situation.
