"Slow Down"?? during Norway concert

During Prince´s second concert in Oslo, Wednesday 3. Aug, he sang something with "Slow down, we gotta slow down" or something like that (don´t remember exactly). It was a slow ballad and was played sometime in the beginning of the concert, I guess as the third or fourth song. The problem is that I have no idea which song it is. I looked at the setlist on PrinceVault for the concert and there is no "Slow Down" listed. I have also searched for a Prince song called "Slow Down" but can´t find any. The closest is "Slow Love" but that´s not it. So, can anyone who was at the Norway show tell me what song I´m looking for?? Is it just part of a song that he has mixed with one of the others??

Hope someone can help me out, because it was a great song!

Yes, it is. Little Red Corvette's new version is maybe the best thing he's playing in the European tour.

It's the new version of "Little Red Corvette".

No studio version of it, but several great bootlegs, including some directly from soundboard.

Oh, thank U everybody. I would have never guessed it was "Little Red Corvette". Sounded like a completely different track. IMO he could actually create a brand new song out of that part smile Hope he releases that version sometimes...

Just get the SOUNDBOARD copy of 2009 Montreux shows and you'll get two crystal clear performances of this version of LRC.

Yes. He first debuted this arrangement with the 'Slow Down' coda at the first Montreux show in 2009.

And he has been experimenting with arrangements of the song for some time: keyboard arrangement during the O2 performances in 2007 and the arrangement at Coachella too.

ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift.
