(TV) 3 Qs & Request for info on Verlaine Gigography



I am 90% finished putting together a Verlaine Gigography 
but have *several missing* pieces of information.  

If anyone can answer these Qs it would be much appreciated:

1)June 2, 1982, London, England, The Venue:  [Clinton Heylin says in Liner Notes 
for "A Miller's Tale", that The Venue show  was June 3, 1982, but must this  be a 
[rare?] Clinton typo because surely not enough time to fly back to NYC for June 4,1982 Ritz show?!].

2)  June 2, 1982, London, England, The Venue (Opening act:  ??)     

3)   OK, I realize with time-zone changes and gaining hours as you fly from UK to US 
it's theoretically feasible to do a UK June 3 show then do a NYC June 4 show.
HOWEVER EVEN MORE BIZARRE:

Fact: Verlaine and his band performed on May 27, 1982, in Boston, Massachusetts, at 
The Paradise Bar. 
Why would Verlaine THEN fly to UK for a June 2 [or 3], 1982, London, England, 
for The Venue performance, THEN FLY BACK AGAIN back to U.S. for performances 
June 4&5, 1982, New York, New York, The Ritz, AND THEN FLY BACK AGAIN!!! to do 
shows June 12, 1982, Arnhem, Holland, The Stocvishal; June 15, 1982, Gothenburg, Sweden, The Lobo Disco;  
June 1982, Stockholm, Sweden, Rock Club Ritz; and  June 23, 1982, Paris, France, Le Palace ?
I.E., WHY wouldn't any sane manager not schedule The Venue gig for AFTER the two NYC Ritz Shows 
(unless the June 2/3 Venue date is an error and should be something like June 10 or 11)?
