No, it was Billy Burnette who was good to go for the
Shake The Cage tour. When Lindsey left, Billy suggested Rick Vito since he'd been working on an album with him (Roy Orbison's
Mystery Girl) & that Billy felt he couldn't handle the guitar parts alone. Rick already had a Fleetwood Mac connection since he had worked with John McVie for a short while when both were in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
