"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English language rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the top ten in the UK, while the full viii-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the ring'southward 1971 anthology Who's Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the vocal as a closing number of the Lifehouse projection, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had found in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human being traits into a synthesizer and used it every bit the master backing musical instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, only re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the adjacent calendar month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a projection was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward anthology, where information technology also became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the band'southward setlist since 1971, oftentimes every bit the set closer, and was the terminal vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the ring.

As well as being a hitting, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 'south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered by several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. i on the Billboard Album Stone Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (nigh notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Background [edit]

The song 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.[iii] 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 backside the government and army, who are left to groovy each other.[4] Townshend described the song as one "that screams disobedience at those who experience whatever crusade is better than no cause".[5] He subsequently said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll exist fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, calculation, "Don't expect to see what y'all expect to meet. Expect naught and you might gain everything."[vi] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the vocal showed Townshend "maxim things that really mattered to him, and proverb them for the commencement time."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan's The Mysticism of Audio 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.[viii] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human being personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-style questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Become Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS three filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did non play any sounds directly as it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ as an input indicate.[ten] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who'due south start attempt to tape the vocal was at the Tape Plant on W 44 Street, New York Urban center, on xvi March 1971. Manager Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the group, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto work was done past Felix Pappalardi. This accept featured Pappalardi'southward Mountain bandmate, Leslie Westward, on pb guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the runway, and a fresh effort at recording was made at the start of Apr at Mick Jagger'south house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to help with production, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, equally the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to exist inferior 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 torso guitar fed through an Edwards volume pedal to a Fender Bandmaster amp, all of which he had been given past Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his main electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the stop consequence sounded and then practiced to the band and Johns, they decided to utilize it every bit the final take.[xiv] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Isle Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] Subsequently Lifehouse was abandoned as a projection, Johns felt "Won't Become Fooled Once more", along with other songs, were so good that they could just exist released as a standalone unmarried album, which became Who'south Next.[16] This vocal is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Go Fooled Again" was starting time released in the UK equally a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to 3:35. It replaced "Backside Blue Optics", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical style, equally the choice of single. It was released in July in the US. 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. nine in the Great britain charts and No. 15 in the The states. Initial publicity cloth showed an abandoned cover of Who's Side by side featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [eighteen]

The total-length version of the song appeared as the closing track of Who's Next, released in August in the US and 27 August in the Britain, where it topped the album charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew potent praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to exist integrated and then successfully inside a rock song.[twenty] Who writer Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream well-nigh 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 strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's performance fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension.[23] As of March 2022 it was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

The group performed live over the synthesizer part beingness played on a backing tape, which required Moon to wearable headphones to hear a click rail, assuasive him to play in sync. Information technology was the last rail Moon played live in front of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the last vocal he ever 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 function of the Who's ready at Live Aid in 1985, Live eight in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM's Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2022 and the radio station's Jingle Bell Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

They finished their ready with 'Won't Get Fooled Once again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aeriform video footage of the Globe Trade Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the grouping closed their set during the halftime show of Super Basin XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who have continued to play the song live, 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's Next track simply not necessarily the best."[32]

Several alive and culling versions of the vocal have been released on CD or DVD.
