"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. Information technology was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top ten in the Great britain, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the ring'south 1971 album Who's Side by side, released that Baronial.

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

Every bit well as being a hitting, the song has accomplished disquisitional praise, actualization as one of Rolling Rock 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered by several artists, such every bit Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (virtually 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.[3] The song was written for the end of the opera, after the primary character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The principal characters disappear, leaving backside the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[iv] Townshend described the vocal equally i "that screams defiance at those who feel whatever cause is better than no crusade".[5] He subsequently said that the vocal was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "Nosotros'll be fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't look to run across what you wait to run into. Look nothing and you might gain everything."[half-dozen] Bassist John Entwistle later on said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the showtime fourth dimension."[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.[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-fashion questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a serial of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Become 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.[9] The synthesizer did not play any sounds directly as it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ as an input signal.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version past the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's first endeavour to record the song was at the Record Plant on W 44 Street, New York City, on sixteen March 1971. Manager Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the grouping, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto work was done past Felix Pappalardi. This have featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on lead 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 business firm, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to help with product, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ rails 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 electrical guitar and bass.[14]

Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow body guitar fed through an Edwards volume pedal to a Fender Bandmaster amp, all of which he had been given by Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his master electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended equally a demo recording, the stop outcome sounded and so adept to the ring and Johns, they decided to utilize information technology equally the final have.[14] Overdubs, including an audio-visual guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the cease of April.[13] [xiv] The rails was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned as a projection, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", forth with other songs, were then practiced that they could merely be released as a standalone single album, which became Who'south Next.[sixteen] This song is written in the fundamental of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Go Fooled Again" was first released in the Great britain as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Optics", which the grouping felt didn't fit the Who'due south established musical style, as the option of single. It 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 United kingdom charts and No. 15 in the United states of america. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [18]

The full-length version of the song appeared every bit the closing track of Who's Side by side, released in August in the US and 27 August in the UK, where it topped the anthology charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Once again" drew potent praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated and so successfully within a stone song.[20] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream nigh the end of the rail equally "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Cash Box said of it that the vocal has "rousing magic with the Who'south trademark instrumental and song forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's performance fervor brand this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Rock 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] As of March 2018 information technology was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

Alive performances [edit]

The Who beginning performed the vocal live at the opening date of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on xiv February 1971. It has subsequently been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] oft as the prepare 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 tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, assuasive him to play in sync. It was the last track Moon played live in front end of a paying audience on 21 Oct 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 moving-picture show The Kids Are Alright.[28] The vocal was part of the Who's set at Alive Aid in 1985, Live viii in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Capital FM'southward Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station's Jingle Bell Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In October 2001, The Who performed the vocal at The Concert for New York Metropolis to help raise funds for the families of firemen and police force officers killed during the nine/11 attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aerial video footage of the Earth Trade Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the group airtight their set during the halftime show 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'due south Next track merely not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a palatial version of Who's Next was reissued to include the Record Plant recording of the runway from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Young Vic on 26 April 1971.[33] The song is also included on the album Live at the Purple Albert Hall, from a 2000 evidence with Noel Gallagher guesting.

Daltrey, Entwistle and Townshend have each performed the song at solo concerts. Townshend has re-arranged the vocal for solo functioning on acoustic guitar.[34] [35] On xxx June 1979, he performed a duet of the vocal with classical guitarist John Williams for the 1979 Amnesty International benefit The Hole-and-corner Policeman'south Ball.[36]

In May 2019, Daltrey and Townshend performed a version of the song on classroom instruments with Jimmy Fallon and his business firm ring the Roots for the This night Testify.[37] [38]
