Concert Notes
Please note: the setlist is not assumed to be in order or complete.
The information stems from a concert review and Passionsjustlikemine.com suggesting:
"Simon Goddard writes: "The exact order is unknown but James Maker has verified the above six songs were definitely played that night. Feasibly, the only others could have been "Suffer little Children", "Miserable Lie" and "Jeane", all of which Maker says weren't played. "A Matter Of Opinion" was around then but they never played it and "Hand In Glove" wasn't written/ready in time. Judging from the rehearsal tapes Joyce retained there were no others they were practicing in December 1982/January 1983.""
The exact source of this quote can not currently be located.
That said, Goddard's Songs That Saved Your Life: The Art of The Smiths 1982-87 mentions all but Handsome Devil being played that night with the "City Fun" review mentioning 4 of the 6 suggested as played including Handsome Devil.
