I've gotten many, many high-profile or desirable gigs (of the kind I want, at least), and a TON of opening slots for bands I worship or enjoy without feeling like I "competed" for the slot against other bands.
Also, most of my bands have had a mid-level draw at best. A loyal, but by no means super-enormous audience.
Sometimes it's just about being a "musically compatible" choice for a particular bill.
Rob, you talk about being in a band like someone who works in a law office.
