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.
