"Won't Go Fooled Once again" is a song by the English language rock ring the Who, written by Pete Townshend. Information technology was released as a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the elevation 10 in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, while the full viii-and-a-half-minute version appears equally the final rail on the band's 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 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 as the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, only re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend'south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abased in favour of Who'southward Adjacent, a straightforward anthology, where it also became the closing track. Information technology has been performed equally a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often as the ready closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the ring.

Too as being a hitting, the song has achieved disquisitional praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension. Information technology has been covered by several artists, such every bit Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks nautical chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (most notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Groundwork [edit]

The song was originally intended for a stone 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 terminate of the opera, after the main grapheme, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song as one "that screams defiance at those who feel any crusade is better than no cause".[five] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "Nosotros'll be fighting in the streets", just stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't wait to run into what y'all expect to see. Look nil and you might gain everything."[six] Bassist John Entwistle afterward said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and maxim them for the showtime 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 inside music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-mode 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 more", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He later upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did not play any 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 past Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's first attempt to record the song was at the Record Plant on W 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 piece of work was done past Felix Pappalardi. This have featured Pappalardi'due south Mountain bandmate, Leslie W, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to exist unable to mix the track, and a fresh attempt at recording was made at the start of April at Mick Jagger's house, 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, 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 pulsate 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 chief electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the finish event sounded then practiced to the band and Johns, they decided to use it as the final have.[xiv] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the finish of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] Later on Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so adept that they could simply be released as a standalone unmarried album, which became Who's Next.[xvi] This song is written in the fundamental of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Become Fooled Again" was get-go released in the United kingdom as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to iii:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Eyes", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical style, as the selection of unmarried. It was released in July in the U.s.. 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 single reached No. 9 in the United kingdom charts and No. 15 in the U.s.a.. Initial publicity material showed an abased 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's Adjacent, released in August in the US and 27 August in the UK, where it topped the anthology charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Once again" drew stiff praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated and so successfully inside a rock vocal.[20] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream well-nigh the end of the track 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's trademark instrumental and song strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the grouping's performance fervor brand this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Rock 'south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] Equally of March 2018 information technology was certified Silvery for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who first performed the song live at the opening date of a serial of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on xiv Feb 1971. Information technology has subsequently been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often equally the set closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The grouping performed alive over the synthesizer part beingness played on a backing tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click rail, allowing him to play in sync. It was the terminal track Moon played alive in front of a paying audience on 21 Oct 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 film The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was office of the Who's set at Alive Aid in 1985, Alive 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital letter FM's Summertime Ball 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 help heighten funds for the families of firemen and police force 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-upwards aerial video footage of the World Merchandise Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the group airtight 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 it, alternating between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track equally "the quintessential Who'due south Side by side track but not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who's Side by side was reissued to include the Record Plant recording of the track from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Young Vic on 26 Apr 1971.[33] The song is also included on the album Live at the Regal Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.

Daltrey, Entwistle and Townshend accept each performed the song at solo concerts.

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