Thank you for this clip! This is the best live version I have ever seen of Thank You. I like both versions of the song. The lyrics and counterpoint instrumentation is second to none on both versions. If you disect the clip you will see not one but three females that sing AND play instruments not to mention a funky violinist and a three piece horn section that worked with a rhythm section that was the definition of what funk music is to this day! Everyone in that lineup pulled their weight. We hardly see that anymore. Today thre are too many producers and not enough musicians.

I don't think the latter is the same song though, more like pt.2 if you will.
