D’Angelo live 2012 vs 2000 - who wins?

There’s been talk, all right talk, that we’ve got the king of neo-soul back as a new album of his beckons. Even a decrepit D’Angelo washes the rest away, so let’s compare him against his only real competition; himself: 

2000

vs

2012 

Neither, Jazz Cafe 1998 does, silly renaissance lovers :P

But the best live interpretation of a song goes to the Feel Like Makin’ Love of the 00 tour for contributions to funk:
