"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released every bit a single in June 1971, reaching the pinnacle x in the United kingdom, while the full 8-and-a-one-half-infinitesimal version appears as the last track on the band's 1971 album Who's Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song every bit a endmost number of the Lifehouse projection, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connexion he had establish in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human traits into a synthesizer and used it every bit the main backing musical instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, simply re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend'south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse equally a project was abandoned in favour of Who'due south Next, a straightforward album, where it besides became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the ring's setlist since 1971, oftentimes equally the set closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the ring.

Every bit well as existence a striking, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension. It has been covered by several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album Stone Tracks chart. It has been used for several Goggle box shows and films (most notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Background [edit]

The vocal was originally intended for a rock opera Townshend had been working on, Lifehouse, which was a multi-media exercise based on his followings of the Indian religious avatar Meher Baba, showing how spiritual enlightenment could be obtained via a combination of band and audience.[3] The song was written for the end of the opera, after the main character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song as ane "that screams defiance at those who feel whatsoever cause is ameliorate than no crusade".[5] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could exist unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to see what you expect to run into. Wait nothing and you lot might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "proverb things that really mattered to him, and proverb them for the first time."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan'south The Mysticism of Sound and Music, which referred to spiritual harmony and the universal chord, which would restore harmony to humanity when sounded. Townshend realised that the newly emerging synthesizers would allow him to communicate these ideas to a mass audience.[8] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing man personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-manner questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a serial of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Go Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an European monetary system VCS three filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[nine] The synthesizer did not play any sounds straight as it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ as an input betoken.[x] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version past the Who, was completed past Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's starting time endeavour to record the song was at the Record Plant on Westward 44 Street, New York City, on 16 March 1971. Managing director Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the group, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto work was washed past Felix Pappalardi. This have featured Pappalardi'southward Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on pb guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh attempt at recording was made at the start of April at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[thirteen] Glyn Johns was invited to help with product, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the role in New York was felt to be junior to the original. Keith Moon had to carefully synchronise his drum playing with the synthesizer, while Townshend and Entwistle played electric guitar and bass.[14]

Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow trunk guitar fed through an Edwards book pedal to a Fender Bandmaster amp, all of which he had been given by Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his main electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended every bit a demo recording, the cease consequence sounded so good to the ring and Johns, they decided to utilise it as the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the cease of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios past Johns on 28 May.[13] Afterwards Lifehouse was abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Once again", forth with other songs, were so good that they could merely be released as a standalone single album, which became Who's Next.[16] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Once more" was get-go released in the United kingdom as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Optics", which the group felt did not fit the Who's established musical style, as the selection of single. It was released in July in the United states. The B-side, "I Don't Fifty-fifty Know Myself", was recorded at Eel Pie Studios in 1970 for a planned EP that was never released. The single reached No. 9 in the Great britain charts and No. xv in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip.[eighteen]

The full-length version of the song appeared every bit the closing track of Who's Next, released in August in the US and 27 August in the U.k., where information technology topped the album charts.[xix] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated so successfully within a rock song.[20] Who author Dave Marsh described vocaliser Roger Daltrey's scream near the end of the track as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Greenbacks Box said of it that the song has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and vocal forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's performance fervor brand this a monster on its manner."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] As of March 2018 it was certified Argent for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

Alive performances [edit]

The Who first performed the song alive at the opening appointment of a serial of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Immature Vic theatre, London on 14 February 1971. It has later been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often as the set closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The group performed live over the synthesizer part being played on a backing record, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. It was the final track Moon played alive in front of a paying audience on 21 Oct 1976[27] and the concluding song he e'er played with the Who at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978, which was captured on the documentary film The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who'due south set at Live Aid in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM'due south Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station'southward Jingle Bong Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In October 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York City to aid enhance funds for the families of firemen and law officers killed during the 9/eleven attacks. They finished their set with "Won't Get Fooled Again" to a responsive and emotional audition, with close-up aeriform video footage of the World Trade Eye buildings playing backside them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the group airtight their ready during the halftime bear witness of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who have continued to play the song alive, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who'southward Next runway but non necessarily the best."[32]

Several alive and culling versions of the vocal have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who'southward Next was reissued to include the Record Constitute recording of the rails from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Young Vic on 26 Apr 1971.[33] The song is also included on the album Alive at the Royal Albert Hall, from a 2000 testify with Noel Gallagher guesting.
