Tonight's top shows: Prince and First Aid Kit

Prince: It’s been eight years since Prince played Chicago, so this three-night residency is long overdue. His last studio album, “20Ten,” came out in 2010, so he’s free to take these shows anywhere – an exciting prospect for Prince watchers, 8 p.m. Monday-Wednesday at United Center, 1901 W. Madison, $49.50 and $149.50; ticketmaster.com.
