"Won't Get Fooled Once again" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released equally a single in June 1971, reaching the summit 10 in the Uk, while the full viii-and-a-half-minute version appears as the terminal track on the band'southward 1971 album Who's Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song every bit a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and ability. To symbolise the spiritual connection 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 primary backing musical instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, merely re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the next calendar 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 too became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, frequently every bit the fix closer, and was the concluding song drummer Keith Moon played alive with the ring.

Besides as being a striking, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered past several artists, such equally Van Halen, who took their version to No. ane on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. Information technology has been used for several TV 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 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 audition.[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 backside the government and army, who are left to bang-up each other.[4] Townshend described the song as i "that screams disobedience at those who feel whatsoever crusade is better than no cause".[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 be unpredictable, adding, "Don't look to see what you expect to run into. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "maxim things that actually mattered to him, and saying them for the first time."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan'southward 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.[viii] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality inside 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 Get Fooled Once again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS 3 filter that played dorsum the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[nine] The synthesizer did non play any sounds straight as it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ as an input signal.[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's showtime attempt to record the song was at the Record Found on West 44 Street, New York City, 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 by Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi'due south Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on pb guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to exist unable to mix the rails, and a fresh attempt at recording was made at the kickoff of April at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[thirteen] Glyn Johns was invited to help with production, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ rails from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the role in New York was felt to be inferior to the original. Keith Moon had to advisedly 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 past Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his chief electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the end result sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to utilise information technology as the final accept.[14] Overdubs, including an audio-visual guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of Apr.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] Later Lifehouse was abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Go Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so practiced that they could only be released every bit a standalone unmarried anthology, which became Who's Adjacent.[16] This vocal is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Become 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 Bluish Eyes", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical mode, 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 single reached No. 9 in the Britain charts and No. xv in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who'due south Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [eighteen]

The full-length version of the song appeared as the closing rail of Who'south Side by side, released in August in the US and 27 August in the UK, where it topped the anthology charts.[xix] "Won't Get Fooled Once more" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated so successfully within a stone song.[xx] Who author Dave Marsh described vocalizer Roger Daltrey's scream near the end of the track as "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'due south operation fervor make this a monster on its manner."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Rock 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension.[23] As of March 2022 it was certified Silvery for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

Alive performances [edit]

The Who first performed the song live at the opening date of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on 14 February 1971. It has subsequently been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often every bit the prepare closer and sometimes extended slightly to let Townshend to blast his guitar or Moon to boot 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. Information technology was the last track Moon played live in front of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the last vocal he always played with the Who at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978, which was captured on the documentary pic The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who's prepare at Live Aid in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Uppercase FM's Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2022 and the radio station's Jingle Bell Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In Oct 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York City to help enhance funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the ix/11 attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Once more' to a responsive and emotional audience, with shut-up aerial video footage of the World Trade Centre buildings playing backside 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.[thirty] While the Who have connected to play the song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for information technology, alternate between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the runway as "the quintessential Who'south Side by side track but not necessarily the best."[32]

Several alive and culling versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a palatial version of Who's Side by side was reissued to include the Record Constitute recording of the track from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Immature Vic on 26 April 1971.[33] The vocal is also included on the album Live at the Imperial Albert Hall, from a 2000 testify with Noel Gallagher guesting.

Daltrey, Entwistle and Townshend have each performed the song at solo concerts. Townshend has re-arranged the song for solo functioning on audio-visual guitar.[34] [35] On xxx June 1979, he performed a duet of the song with classical guitarist John Williams for the 1979 Immunity International do good The Underground Policeman's Ball.[36]

In May 2019, Daltrey and Townshend performed a version of the song on classroom instruments with Jimmy Fallon and his house ring the Roots for the Tonight Show.[37] [38]
