If FM do what we all want and get together for a new album, could this kind of exposure perhaps help them in the long run...perhaps open them up to a bigger audience???

That's a nice silver lining to contemplate. I guess the double bill could help them if they showed something that concertgoers don't know about them. If they surprised them somehow, if they played some songs that people don't necessarily associate with them and show that they have a harder or fresher edge than
Little Lies radio play might suggest.
On the other hand, since the other set of fans will be the Eagles' audience, I don't know if they would necessarily appreciate the rest of FM's spectrum.
Of course, having access to fans that are not their own would be the perfect way to expose some new music. I keep hoping that will happen, but fear it's a pipe dream.
If they stayed with a Rumours songs setlist, they won't surprise non-fans, who've heard that stuff even if they've never seen FM before, but maybe people will be impressed by their live showmanship and they'll gain new followers that way.
