The Shake the Cage Tour was a concert tour by the British-American rock group, Fleetwood Mac. The tour began on September 30, 1987 in Kansas City, Missouri, and ended on June 28, 1988 in Manchester, England. This was the first tour since 1974 without Lindsey Buckingham, who left the band in August 1987.
Even though the album Tango in the Night included Lindsey Buckingham, the tour did not. However, they managed to tour without him, replacing him with rockabilly singer and guitarist Billy Burnette and lead guitarist and session musician Rick Vito. Burnette contributed to Mick Fleetwood's solo album, I'm Not Me, as a member of Mick Fleetwood's Zoo. While Stevie had just recently recovered from her cocaine addiction, she was prescribed a heavy duty tranquilizer, which she became addicted to until the mid 90s.
The band played at the Rock am Ring Festival in Nürburg, Germany, on June 4, 1988. The crowd in attendance was 80.000.
This tour was filmed during the San Francisco shows (December 12-13) and released on VHS as Fleetwood Mac:Tango in the Night. Cruzados and The Adventures were the opening act of the tour.
