Kieser spent his whole career designing posters for jazz festivals and rock concerts. His technique of choice was primarily photographs and photomontage, making this graphic image reminiscent of turn-of-the-century children's book illustrations, an exception. Germany was the second stop The Doors made on their 17-day European tour in the fall of 1968. This poster was made specifically for this one night only concert.
