Still wondering what caused Jon to resurrect The Distance "from the dead" for these two odd promo shows in Japan and then drop it again afterwards?
Somewhat similar to the two Right Side Of Wrong performances at Newark later on...

And it's even more odd considering he had 39°C fever during both shows in Kobe and Tokyo...or his feverish delirium was the reason why he played the song

That may have been the reason. Then he must've had caught the flu in a really bad way because I remember an interview about Live Earth where they said that they flew him in with a helicopter because he was suffering from high fever. And that was more than a week afterwards.

Was Lorenza in the line-up for these promo gigs in Japan? The Distance and Right Side Of Wrong both had strings in the arrangements, so maybe he was trying to figure out how the songs worked with a violin on stage...

If I recall, The Distance was a bigger hit in that region due to being a beer commercial. I feel like I learned the brand was involved in the show but I could just be remembering things.

Quick question about the title of that video: Is that supposed to be June 30 (30/06) instead of July 30 (30/07)? It says the video was published on July 9, 2007. Kinda hard to do if the show was on July 30 of the same year.

The way it's written I'd say July 30 as well.
But that has to be a typo since the show was on June 30.

Setlist.fm even lists 2 shows in Tokyo on August 10 + 11, that never happened.

It couldn't have been 2006 since it was the Lost Highway tour.

In this case, I think 06 and 07 refer to June and July. Faceman and bonjovi90's website shows the date as June 30, 2007. (Which I would have known had I checked more carefully. Sorry for confusing the issue...)
