Was Prince's version of 'The Unexpected' played last night on the pa system?

I was at fridays manchester gig, and before they came on they played what seemed to be Princes version of the song he wrote for liv w. I couldnt make it out completely due to noise , people talking etc, did anyone else on hear make this out?

She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

Done.


There is naturally some speculation that this is also the song referred to as 'Wow' on the current tracklisting for 'Plectrumelectrum' ... time will tell.

Is it exactly the same as Liv's The Unexpected but with Prince's vocals, or different instrumentation and Prince's vocals?

dont wanna blow my own trumpet, but it was me that picked up that the unexpected and Wow might be the same song, just with prince on vocals for Wow. anyhow we might find out when Plectrum Electrum is released!

Hard to tell but I'd say different instrumentation

Sorry, I didn't want to take any credit... They also played another song after the concert, with Hannah (I guess) on vocals... That one wasn't great..

it sounds different to me. i've heard liv's version a few times and prince's version twice

dunno if it's the track wow, but i thought that wow was a led zep sounding instrumental according to mojo or something. it does have wow in the lyrics so could confuse people. but the story was that liv was going to call her album unexpected but had no track of that name, and prince wrote that track for her ala shockadelica. so calling it wow sounds strange

marz is the song with the maccy d lyrics from midnight blues and it was played at SBE

I really want to hear this, but don't expect it to be on the album if it's the title track to Liv's album.
