My secret's my enzyme.
Perhaps my ignorance of Smiths Lore is showing, but I have zero idea.
Is there a list of the names of the bands?
You know 90% of Smiths live history details are found in passionsjustlikemine.com
Also you should get a copy of Mozipedia.
They also supported The Fall in 1983 just before their debut album tour.
Is that 90% exactly. Where is the other 10% to be found?
Had no clue until today that Geezer is Smiths illiterate. Interesting.
Some information still hasn't been emerged yet.
For example 2nd June 1983 live set list is unknown, just brief details about the gig.

I know the lyrics and the notes to all his songs. The details never factored into my listening experience so I don't commit them to memory.

Here's my problem with Mozipedia. I looked at it, my friend has one on her coffee table. It's marketed as an exhaustive resource for all things Morrissey, and it does a good job on a lot of stuff. But it lists potentially true things as fact. I'll play around with the idea that there's a slight veneer or tarot imagery in some of his lyrics and link that to God, but epistemologically. I'm not saying the girl least likely to IS the high priestess, just that there's symbolic allusion to that. But Simon Goddard will say that Morrissey pulled a lyric from a British soap opera line, like he sat and copied it down and worked it into his songs on purpose. That bugs me. Maybe he heard it playing in the living room and three days later it sort of came to the surface in his poetry, but he didn't crib it. And passage after passage of Mozipedia HAS MORRISSEY ALL FIGURED OUT and I don't think it's exactly...I dunno. Objective. That's not to say that the information isn't useful, it just rubbed me the wrong way.
But anyway, not here to talk about Mozipedia. Just wanted to start a discussion on the bands Morrissey has opened for.
Maybe that is why you did not understand what Morrissey meant by the fourth sex. Yes, couldn't have said it better, myself. Not having these details did shape your listening experience. It was missing something important... historical relevance and an understanding of the young man who penned the lyrics. All the early interviews are online. I suggest you read them.

I don't do adverts normally!
However, this site is very comprehensive and may help fill some gaps Mozipedia leaves out.

Thanks, FWD.
I recall reading he opened for Madonna in New York? Or she opened for them? I wonder what other American bands. Or any bands, even the ones that didn't make it.
Madonna supported The Smiths
