One Man Show is a live album by Fleetwood Mac guitarist/vocalist Lindsey Buckingham released for download only on November 13, 2012 via iTunes. The live show was recorded from a single night in Des Moines, Iowa whilst Buckingham was on his one-man show tour of North American venues in 2012. Six of the 13 songs originate from albums by Fleetwood Mac, six originate from Buckingham's solo albums, and one originates from the Buckingham Nicks album.
Buckingham says:
"As an artist, you need to seek out what is essential and discard what is inessential, to always keep an eye on what lives at the center. That was the impetus for this performance. My center has always been voice and guitar, and as I've evolved, I've looked to broaden the range and vocabulary of that center. So when I decided to tour in 2012, it suddenly felt as though I'd been working towards something, that I'd arrived at a new place. I sensed it was time to do something I'd never done: A one man show. This performance is from a single night in Des Moines, Iowa, taken right off the console mix, with a couple of room mikes added in. It's live and raw, with no post-production. I love it! It captures not only the spirit of the performance, but also the spirit of where I now live as an artist." [1]
