I believe this is actually the first night in Detroit, and before Limelight, Geddy says "*unintellegable* to be here for our first night at the Cobo"

Sounds to me like "A pleasure for us to be here for our third night at Cobo". One of us is mishearing it... I'm not really hearing "first night". Thoughts?

Thanks either way for the tip, pointing out things like this is a big help for me. It's unbelievable how many tapes have circulated mislabeled for decades, and it's been impossible for me to continue thoroughly listening to every single 80s+ show to catch all errors in advance.
