In "Babysitting A Band On The Rocks," G.D. Praetorius recounts the story of a chaotic youth producing concerts during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the pinnacle of rock god excess. From the perspective of a fan who hit the jackpot, the author offers humorous and insightful reflections on the excitement and insanity of the era, as he leaps from the back row to backstage, promoting, pacifying, and occasionally partying with some of the world's biggest names.

Praetorius' adolescent infatuation with music and musicians evolves into an intimate appreciation of performers as real people, featuring a glimpse into their foibles, failings, and addictions to adoration and varied vices. Centered on a year of living on the edge with a down-and-out Steven Tyler and Aerosmith, the "Band on the Rocks," the book also takes readers on side trips involving many other classic icons.

Chapters dedicated to AC/DC, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull, and more, provide unique snapshots of the artists at their peak. A more recent chance meeting with Keith Richards results in an evening being treated to the wit and wisdom of an older, but no less outrageous, Stone. The author also supplies unique insight into the stars' music and careers, as well as detailed and colorful accounts of the nuts and bolts of the business of rock and roll.

Notably, the book features many previously unseen photographs, offering readers a rare glimpse into the world of rock and roll excess. Through his engaging narrative and insider's perspective, Praetorius invites readers to experience the thrill and chaos of the era, and to gain a deeper understanding of the lives and dynamics of some of the most iconic musicians of their time.
