"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song past the English rock ring the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the pinnacle ten in the UK, while the total eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the band'south 1971 anthology Who's Side by side, released that August.

Townshend wrote the vocal every bit a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had constitute 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 master backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, only re-recorded a superior accept at Stargroves the adjacent month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing track. It has been performed every bit a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often equally the set closer, and was the terminal song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

As well as being a hit, the vocal has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 'southward The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered past several artists, such equally Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Anthology Rock Tracks nautical chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (almost 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 vocal was written for the end of the opera, after the main grapheme, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The principal characters disappear, leaving backside the government and ground forces, who are left to not bad each other.[4] Townshend described the song as 1 "that screams defiance at those who feel whatever cause is meliorate than no cause".[5] He later said that the vocal was non strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll exist fighting in the streets", merely stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't look to see what you await to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle after said that the vocal showed Townshend "saying 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 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 audition.[viii] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with full general practitioner-style questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a serial of sound pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Over again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS 3 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 whatsoever 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 by the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's first attempt to tape the song was at the Record Plant on Westward 44 Street, New York City, 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 washed by Felix Pappalardi. This take 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 fabricated at the kickoff of Apr at Mick Jagger's 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 runway 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 body 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.[xv] Although intended as a demo recording, the end event sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to apply it as the final accept.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played past Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the finish of April.[13] [fourteen] The runway was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[xiii] Afterwards Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Go Fooled Once more", along with other songs, were and then good that they could simply be released as a standalone single anthology, which became Who'southward Next.[16] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Again" was starting time released in the Great britain as a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downward to iii:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Eyes", which the group felt didn't fit the Who'south established musical manner, as the choice 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 unmarried reached No. 9 in the UK charts and No. fifteen in the US. Initial publicity fabric showed an abased cover of Who's Adjacent featuring Moon dressed in elevate and brandishing a whip. [eighteen]

The full-length version of the song appeared as the endmost track of Who'south Side by side, released in Baronial in the US and 27 August in the Great britain, where it 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 vocalist Roger Daltrey's scream near the end of the rail 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'due south trademark instrumental and vocal strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched past the group'south functioning 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 Fourth dimension.[23] Equally of March 2018 it was certified Silverish for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who get-go performed the song live at the opening appointment of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on 14 Feb 1971. Information technology has later been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] ofttimes equally the gear up closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kicking over his drumkit. The group performed live over the synthesizer office being played on a bankroll tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, assuasive him to play in sync. It was the last runway Moon played alive 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 film The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who's set at Alive Aid in 1985, Alive eight in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM's Summertime Brawl 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 song at The Concert for New York City to assistance raise funds for the families of firemen and constabulary officers killed during the 9/11 attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Once again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aerial video footage of the World Merchandise Center buildings playing backside them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the group closed their fix during the halftime bear witness of Super Basin XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who have continued to play the song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for information technology, alternating betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the runway as "the quintessential Who's Next track but not necessarily the all-time."[32]

Several live and culling versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who's Adjacent was reissued to include the Record Plant recording of the rail 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 Imperial Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.
