What's your favorite version of "Way Down in the Hole"?

Popularized by the opening theme of The Wire, they used a different version in every season. My favorite is the original, the Tom Waits version, from Season 2. Here's a live rendition of that song with Waits and the Kronos Quartet.

This version, from The Blind Boys of Alabama, is pretty cool as well. I think it was used in The Wire in the first season.

Asker's Rating:
• I'm selecting this as the best answer because it included an mp3. Both awesome tracks.

Waits' version is also my favorite, though I've never heard a live version I like as much as the original studio recording on Frank's Wild Years:

(Unfortunately I can't find a legal online version to link to.)
