Nah, sorry. I disagree. I think when Lindsey was talking about guitar help on stage, he meant someone in the background, as in The Dance tour. Under Chili's scenario, which by the way I don't think Lindsey would agree to, he might trade lead riffing with someone else, say Rick Vito, but I don't see him leaving the stage.
Why am I so sure? Remember the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame induction? Peter Green was inducted too, yet he was not invited to play with the band, which put on a rather lame unplugged show. I'm not blaming Lindsey for Peter not playing with them because I really don't know what happened. But if Lindsey wanted Peter on stage, he would have made sure that Peter played. After all, Greeny got up that night and played with Santana, who by the way swirled around him with all kinds of showy playing while Peter stuck to his playing-with-feeling mode.
