Aha I almost forgot that she put the flag of Mexico there on the stage where she did as can be seen :D Shame on me, I'm an immigrant and my family are mexican. Shows how awesome she is- global refugee representative! Support for oppressed peoples she shows the solidarity so great :) There's a recent-ish interview saying "Free tickets for mexicans to my next show!" and she was talking about how appalled she is by the anti-mexican/immigrant racist BS in the US goin' on.
Brings back good memories, gotta love that comment, you captured a bit of history. :P Love MIA. That was a really fun show, she performed really well, the awesome energy from the crowd (haha, us!) she generated was impressive. I remembered the show from start to end well and now even better thanks to your clips of it. Thanks for sharing them and taking them in the first place. She was awesome to go back on Letterman and be hardcore last year- his demeanor about her was priceless. Owned! Haha.
I was there and apparently so were you camera person! You got good clips! :D I had heard of MIA through a friend (who was there as well :) who had her albums "Arular" and "Kala" so I was familiar the songs but hadn't seen her on Letterman. You captured that now well-known comment she made regarding his censorship of her performance on his show of the gun sounds and her clear anti-censorship stance. She's clever as ever; it was brilliant how she worded that just right, tone just right. <3 M.I.A.
