Capped off by an original Jimi Hendrix 1969 Merchandising Poster - known as the Darien House version. Also blacklight Hendrix and two Monterey Pop personality photo posters.

The 1969 Jimi Hendrix Experience poster, also known as the Stuttgart poster, was sold as a souvenir at the April-May 1969 US concerts. The story is that Kieser's image turned out to be so popular with the public that it was decided to have the poster reproduced but with an imaginary date and venue as not to confuse it with the original concert posters (the same thing was done with Kieser's Fleetwood Mac poster the following year). The poster was distributed by Jack Rennert's Darien House in New York and subsequently sold at the Spring 1969 US shows. Rennart was a huge fan of Kieser's art and had distributed his posters in America years before the Hendrix poster. There are two different sizes of the Stuttgart poster, but for an entirely different reason. The first printing was in the large A0 format and it was printed on the same uncoated paper stock as the concert poster and the poster program. Most of these were destroyed in a warehouse fire and only very few copies survived. This is the rare version, which was sold at the Spring 1969 US tour and is slightly smaller and is printed on light coated paper stock. In fact it was probably printed in the US regardless of the fact it says "Printed in West Germany".

A great 1969 promo concert poster for the Jimi Hendrix Experience in Germany, with the famous “wire-hair” image designed by poster artist Günther Kieser.

This image was a PROMO-POSTER - similar in style to the “tour blank” used for a number of dates on the Experience’s January 1969 tour of Germany. For each tour date, the appropriate information was printed in the white space below.

Knowledgeable poster collectors are aware that the January 15 1969 version of this poster from Stuttgart was simply a souvenir merchandising poster sold at Jimi’s concerts, in addition to other outlets. Therefore, this version is not a poster advertising an actual concert date.

The Gunther Kieser Hendrix concert posters were used to sell tickets for the guitarist’s 1969 German tour dates of January 11 in Hamburg; January 12 in Düsseldorf; January 13 in Cologne; January 14 in Münster; January 15 in Munich; January 16 in Nuremburg; January 17 in Frankfurt; January 19 in Stuttgart (not Jan 15, like the merchandising poster); and January 23 in Berlin.

Anyway you look at it, this Jimi Hendrix concert poster by Kieser is a true masterpiece of beautiful design and colors that demands respect almost half-a-century later. It remains one of the most enduring images, of any kind, from the psychedelic Sixties. Slight tears and creasing as in pictures.
