count down and Memorial address fit perfectly imo. They were sort of like "show stopper" songs since the "show was ending" in a way. It also helps that she was on point vocally for both songs and even sang count down better than on the recorded version of the song!
As for Virgin Road, the point of the 7days Special was to add all of the new tracks that she had created since Rock'n'Roll Circus to the setlist... so at some point or another during those 7 concerts, she performed MOON, blossom [MC], crossroad [MC], SEVEN DAYS WAR, Virgin Road, Sweet Season, and Last angel. I don't really get why she had to do that since it resulted in alterna getting the axe, but eh. The performances were all nice but Virgin Road/MOON did stick out like sore thumbs in the entire concert and rightfully so since they were kind of just snuck in there.
The original plan for the concert was a lot shorter (ARENA TOUR 2010 / A MUSEUM 2010) but was made waaay longer with the inclusion of the seven new songs she'd done all throughout 2010.
