Original 1st printing 32&7/8 x 46&5/8" extra-large European "kiosk"-style concert poster for the Mothers of Invention (featuring Frank Zappa) appearing at the Kongresshalle in Frankfurt, (West) Germany on 9/29/1968. Design by Gunther Kieser, medium-thick flat index "fly posting" stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; a series of (3) vertical and (3) horizontal folds (as issued-folded into 1/16ths) with a couple of worn areas where the folds meet (slight fraying and a pair of small holes in the second "n" of "Invention" and just to the left of Frank's head), a 3&1/2" tear and small water stain in the left center margin, a hand-written date ("29") added in the lower left corner and a few scattered handling dings, otherwise fine. A REALLY cool-looking (and MASSIVE) original European FZ poster created by the most well-known and influential German poster designer of the last 60 years. This is the larger version of the two posters Kieser created for this show, this version almost NEVER turns up.
