Well, folks, it appears Prince has made a full return to the game. After leaking a fantastic new single, he has taken up a residency in Chicago to perform a few noteworthy shows at the United Center. After last night’s performance, he headed over to House Of Blues with a couple cronies to kick a jam session for the ages. Alongside Janelle Monae, Maceo Parker, and more, the musicians groove out for a pretty lengthy time deep into the night. We also have a full set list for The Official Purple After Jam below, which goes to show just how epic this performance really was. [via]
