I got a question: most people know about P giving musical directions to his band when performing live. For example 'on the one' or 'Vegas' etc. In the nineties, he used to say something to make clear that the band was supposed to continue playing after a break, which followed on a command like 'on the one'. He used to say something that I still haven't figured what it was but it sounded something like 'mass appeal' or 'master p', mostly pronounced very quickly and the band continued playing.
Does anyone have a clue what he said? I'd really like to know. Thnxxxx!

Not positive , but if it was from '89 thru the mid 90s, Prince used to yell "Michael B!" (Drummer Michael Bland) a lot to bring the music back in when he stopped it by saying "On the one" or something like that. Michael B. would kick in the initial beat with the drum, then the rest of the band would follow.

"Sorry 'bout the rain, I couldn't help that.
But I can help this groove.
Michael B!"

:err:

Of course..... Thnx 4 that. Of course it's that. Just needed 27 years to figure that one out :dunce:

Thnx4 the help.

Any chance you could say which shows they were?

Mostly during the 1990 shows (Nude tour). And Micheal B was the drummer at the time, so it's probably correct what is suggested above
