"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song past the English rock band the Who, written past Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the height 10 in the Great britain, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final rails on the band's 1971 album Who's Side by side, released that August.

Townshend wrote the vocal every bit a endmost number of the Lifehouse project, 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 traits into a synthesizer and used it every bit the main bankroll instrument throughout the vocal. The Who tried recording the vocal 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 projection was abandoned in favour of Who'south Next, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing track. Information technology has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often as the set closer, and was the terminal vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the ring.

As well as being a hit, the vocal has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Rock 's 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 chart. It has been used for several Television shows and films (near 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, later the chief graphic symbol, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The principal characters disappear, leaving backside the government and army, who are left to swell each other.[4] Townshend described the song equally one "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is improve than no cause".[v] He later said that the vocal was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", only stressed that revolution could exist unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to see what you await to see. Expect cypher and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and proverb them for the starting time 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 audience.[8] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing homo 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 serial of sound pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Once more", 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 indicate.[x] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed past Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's beginning try to record the vocal was at the Tape Plant on Due west 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 by Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie Westward, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to exist unable to mix the track, 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.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to assist with production, and he decided to re-utilise the synthesized organ runway from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to be inferior to the original. Keith Moon had to carefully synchronise his pulsate 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.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the stop result sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to employ information technology equally the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an audio-visual guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the stop of Apr.[xiii] [fourteen] The track was mixed at Island Studios past Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Become Fooled Again", along with other songs, were and then skillful that they could only be released as a standalone single album, which became Who's Next.[16] This vocal is written in the primal of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Go Fooled Again" was outset released in the Great britain as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwards to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Eyes", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical style, as the choice of single. 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 UK charts and No. fifteen in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abased cover of Who'south Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [18]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared equally the closing runway of Who'due south Next, released in Baronial in the U.s.a. and 27 August in the UK, where it topped the album charts.[nineteen] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew stiff praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated and so successfully within a rock song.[twenty] Who writer Dave Marsh described vocalist Roger Daltrey's scream most the terminate of the rails equally "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 forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched past the group'due south functioning fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] As of March 2022 information technology was certified Argent for 200,000 sold copies in the Britain.[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who get-go 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. Information technology has afterward been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often as the fix 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 office 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 terminal track Moon played live in front of a paying audition on 21 October 1976[27] and the last song he e'er played with the Who at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978, which was captured on the documentary flick The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who'south ready at Live Aid in 1985, Alive 8 in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Capital FM's Summer Brawl concert in 2009, 2010 and 2022 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 help heighten funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the 9/eleven attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-upwards aerial video footage of the World Trade Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the group closed their set during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[xxx] While the Who have connected to play the song alive, 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 runway but 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 rail from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Immature Vic on 26 Apr 1971.[33] The song is also included on the album Live at the Imperial Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.

Daltrey, Entwistle and Townshend take 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 Amnesty International do good The Undercover Policeman's Brawl.[36]

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