New York, NY (Top40 Charts) When it comes to rock 'n' roll,

Danny will be hosting a live signing event for his new must-read book, 'ALL EXCE$$: OCCUPATION: CONCERT PROMOTER.'

In this personal and heartfelt collection of essays, Bill Graham's protégé and legendary concert promoter, Zelisko, reflects on his five decades of experience in the live music business where he organized or promoted more than 12,000 shows.
Danny conducted hard negotiations with Chuck Berry, brainstormed names for Lollapalooza with Perry Farrell, auditioned (almost) for Frank Zappa, and befriended world-class comedians like Rodney Dangerfield, Sam Kinison, and Andrew "The Diceman" Clay.
Get a peek at the behind-the-scenes shenanigans from the 1970s to the present day. Zelisko reveals how he co-founded the
Grateful Dead as an annual Las
Vegas draw, arranged "emergency pimple surgery" for Axl Rose, and was invited on stage to jam with
Carlos Santana.
Over 600 pictures are featured in the book (mostly never seen before photos) - printed on high gloss, high quality paper.
Additionally, ALL EXCE$$ has been endorsed by major artists and music industry executives.
Featured are stories and photos of such rock heavyweights as Alice Cooper, Willie Nelson,
