"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English rock ring the Who, written by Pete Townshend. Information technology was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the Britain, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final rail on the ring'southward 1971 anthology Who'southward Adjacent, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song as a endmost number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and ability. To symbolise the spiritual connectedness he had plant in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human traits into a synthesizer and used it as the principal backing musical instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior accept at Stargroves the next calendar month using the synthesizer from Townshend'due south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward anthology, where it besides became the closing runway. It has been performed as a staple of the band'south setlist since 1971, ofttimes as the set closer, and was the terminal song drummer Keith Moon played alive with the ring.

As well as beingness a hit, the vocal has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 'south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Information technology has been covered past several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. one on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks nautical chart. It has been used for several Television receiver shows and films (most 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 practice 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 finish 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 regular army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the vocal as one "that screams disobedience at those who experience any crusade is improve than no cause".[5] He later said that the vocal was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to see what you await to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the vocal showed Townshend "proverb things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the first 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 permit him to communicate these ideas to a mass audience.[8] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-way questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Over 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 not play any sounds straight every bit information technology was monophonic; instead it modified the cake chords on the organ as an input indicate.[10] 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'south first attempt to record the song was at the Record Plant on W 44 Street, New York Urban center, on 16 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 by Felix Pappalardi. This have featured Pappalardi'south Mountain bandmate, Leslie Due west, on atomic number 82 guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to exist unable to mix the rail, and a fresh effort at recording was fabricated at the commencement of April at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[xiii] Glyn Johns was invited to help with production, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the part 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 body 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 end event sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to use it as the concluding take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar role played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[xiii] [14] The track was mixed at Isle Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] Later on Lifehouse was abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Become Fooled Once again", along with other songs, were so skillful that they could simply exist released every bit a standalone single album, which became Who's Next.[16] This song is written in the central of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Once more" was first released in the UK every bit a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Optics", which the grouping felt did non fit the Who'due south established musical style, equally the choice of unmarried. Information technology was released in July in the US. The B-side, "I Don't Even Know Myself", was recorded at Eel Pie Studios in 1970 for a planned EP that was never released. The unmarried reached No. 9 in the UK charts and No. xv in the The states. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned embrace of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in elevate and brandishing a whip.[eighteen]

The full-length version of the song appeared as the closing track of Who's Next, released in August in the United states and 27 August in the United kingdom, where information technology topped the album charts.[19] "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 singer Roger Daltrey's scream near the stop of the track every bit "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Cash 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 grouping'south 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 Time.[23] Every bit of March 2022 it was certified Silvery for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

The grouping performed live over the synthesizer role being played on a backing tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. It was the last track Moon played live in front of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the last song he ever played with the Who at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978, which was captured on the documentary picture The Kids Are Alright.[28] The vocal was part of the Who's set at Live Aid in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM'due south Summertime Brawl concert in 2009, 2010 and 2022 and the radio station's Jingle Bell Brawl concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In February 2010, the grouping airtight their set during the halftime prove of Super Bowl 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 runway as "the quintessential Who's Side by side track only not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and culling versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD.
