London 25 Sep 99

When my parents told me that we all would go to the Deep Purple show tonight, I did not wanted to. I dont like this kind of music, it is much too loud and heavy. I like the Spice Girls, Aqua, Steps.

The hall is very beautiful, big with lots of chairs. When the orchestra played some nice music I recognised "Peter and the Wolf". It was beautiful but very loud.

Another beautiful song I knew was "Love is All" from that cartoon.

The orchestra played more beautiful music than Deep Purple, but Deep Purple alone was also beautiful.

A man behind us told me to be quieter, but there were some vulgar men, also behind us, shouting all the time. Mama said they were shouting mean words ("go to hell!").

We could see papa at ease, during the whole concert he was writing, taking pictures and clapping his hands. Johan was waving his arms in the air, and walking around all the time.

Smoke on the water was also very beautiful, mama was dancing, like all the other people did. But I got tired and we still had to go a long way by buss and on foot back to the hotel, where we had to take 3 stairs to get to our room! Next time I wont be going to Deep Purple because it is much too loud and I prefer the Spice Girls, but I am glad I went to this concert (my first one) and I enjoyed myself.
