"Won't Get Fooled Once more" is a song past the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the elevation 10 in the UK, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears equally the terminal track on the band'south 1971 album Who'southward Adjacent, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the song equally a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connectedness 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 as the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abased in favour of Who's Adjacent, a straightforward anthology, where it also became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the ring's setlist since 1971, often as the set closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

As well as being a striking, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing every bit ane of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered past several artists, such every bit Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Anthology Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several Goggle box shows and films (nearly 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 practise 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.[three] The song was written for the terminate of the opera, afterwards the main graphic symbol, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The primary characters disappear, leaving backside the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[four] Townshend described the song equally one "that screams defiance at those who feel any crusade is better than no cause".[v] He afterward 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 run across what you lot expect to see. Look nothing and you lot might gain everything."[vi] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and proverb them for the first time."[vii]

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 human personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with full general practitioner-style questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the upshot into a serial of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an European monetary system VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He later on upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did non play any sounds directly every bit it was monophonic; instead it modified the cake chords on the organ every bit an input indicate.[ten] 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 first endeavour to record the song was at the Record Plant on W 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 accept featured Pappalardi'southward Mountain bandmate, Leslie W, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh endeavour at recording was made at the showtime of April at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[thirteen] Glyn Johns was invited to assistance with product, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ rail from Townshend'southward original demo, equally the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to be 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 torso 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 main electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended every bit a demo recording, the terminate result sounded and so expert to the band and Johns, they decided to apply information technology equally the terminal take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar role played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[xiii] [14] The rail was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned equally a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Once more", along with other songs, were so adept that they could simply be released as a standalone single album, which became Who's Next.[16] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Become Fooled Again" was first released in the UK as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downward to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blueish Optics", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical mode, every bit the selection of unmarried. It was released in July in the US. 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. ix in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland charts and No. fifteen in the US. Initial publicity fabric 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 as the closing track of Who'southward Next, released in Baronial in the United states of america and 27 Baronial in the UK, where it topped the album charts.[19] "Won't Go Fooled Over again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated and then successfully inside a stone song.[xx] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey'southward scream near the end of the rail 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 group'south performance 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 it was certified Argent for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who first performed the song live at the opening engagement of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on 14 February 1971. Information technology has later on been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often every bit the ready closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The grouping performed live over the synthesizer function 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 concluding rail Moon played live in front end of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the concluding 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 role of the Who's set at Alive Aid in 1985, Alive viii in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Majuscule FM's Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2022 and the radio station's Jingle Bong Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In Oct 2001, The Who performed the vocal at The Concert for New York City to help heighten funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the 9/11 attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with shut-upwardly 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 bear witness of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[xxx] While the Who have continued to play the song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for information technology, alternating between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the rail as "the quintessential Who's Next track but not necessarily the all-time."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a palatial version of Who'due south Next was reissued to include the Record Establish recording of the rails 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 Regal Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.
