In Babysitting A Band On The Rocks, G.D. Praetorius tells the story of a chaotic youth producing concerts during the late 1970s and early 1980s. 
 
Revolving around a year living on the edge with a down and out Steven Tyler and Aerosmith - the "Band on the Rocks” - there are side trips involving many other classic icons, with chapters dedicated to AC/DC, Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull and more offering unique snapshots of the artists at their peak. 
 
The author also supplies unique insight on the stars’ music and careers and provides detailed and colorful accounts of the nuts and bolts of the business of rock and roll.
