"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. Information technology was released equally a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the top ten in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, while the total eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the band's 1971 album Who's Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song equally a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and ability. To symbolise the spiritual connexion he had establish in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human being traits into a synthesizer and used it as the master backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, only re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend'south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a projection was abased in favour of Who'due south Adjacent, a straightforward anthology, where it also became the endmost track. It has been performed equally a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often every bit the set closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Every bit well as being a striking, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing every bit one of Rolling Stone '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 Anthology Rock Tracks 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 audition.[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 master characters disappear, leaving behind the government and ground forces, who are left to smashing each other.[four] Townshend described the vocal as 1 "that screams defiance at those who feel any crusade is better than no crusade".[five] He later said that the song 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 wait to see what you await to meet. Wait nothing and you might gain everything."[six] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song 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 let 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-manner questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the event into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[eight] He after upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did non play any sounds directly every bit it was monophonic; instead information technology modified the block chords on the organ as an input betoken.[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 starting time attempt to record the song was at the Record Plant on Westward 44 Street, New York City, on xvi March 1971. Director Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the group, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto piece of work was washed past Felix Pappalardi. This have featured Pappalardi's Mount bandmate, Leslie West, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the rail, and a fresh effort at recording was made at the start of Apr at Mick Jagger's firm, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to help with production, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to exist junior 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 trunk 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.[fifteen] Although intended as a demo recording, the finish upshot sounded and then good to the band and Johns, they decided to use it every bit the last take.[fourteen] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar role played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned every bit a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Once again", along with other songs, were and then good that they could but be released as a standalone single album, which became Who's Adjacent.[16] This song is written in the central of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Become Fooled Again" was first released in the Britain every bit a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to 3:35. Information technology replaced "Behind Blue Optics", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical way, as the pick of single. It was released in July in the U.s.a.. 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. 15 in the U.s..

The full-length version of the song appeared as the endmost track of Who's Next, released in August in the Usa and 27 August in the UK, where it topped the anthology charts.[19] "Won't Become Fooled Once again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated and so successfully within a rock vocal.[20] Who writer Dave Marsh described vocaliser Roger Daltrey's scream nigh 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'southward trademark instrumental and vocal strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's operation fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] As of March 2018 it was certified Silvery for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

The group performed live over the synthesizer role being played on a backing record, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click rails, assuasive him to play in sync. It was the last rails Moon played live in forepart of a paying audition on 21 October 1976[27] and the last vocal he ever 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'southward prepare at Live Aid in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Majuscule FM'south Summertime Brawl concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station's Jingle Bell Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In February 2010, the group closed their fix during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this vocal.[30] While the Who have continued to play the vocal live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternate between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who's Adjacent track but non necessarily the best."[32]
