"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English language rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the meridian 10 in the United kingdom, while the full eight-and-a-one-half-minute version appears as the final track on the band's 1971 anthology Who's Adjacent, released that August.

Townshend wrote the vocal every bit a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and ability. To symbolise the spiritual connexion he had found in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of homo traits into a synthesizer and used it as the primary backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior accept at Stargroves the side by side month using the synthesizer from Townshend'south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Side by side, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing rail. It has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often as the prepare closer, and was the terminal song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

As well equally beingness a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing equally ane of Rolling Rock 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension. It has been covered by several artists, such equally Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album 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 ring and audition.[3] The song was written for the end of the opera, later the chief character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the authorities and regular army, who are left to cracking each other.[4] Townshend described the song as one "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is better than no cause".[5] He later said that the song was non 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 encounter what y'all wait to see. Wait null and y'all might proceeds everything."[half-dozen] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the kickoff 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.[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-style questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the effect into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Become Fooled Once more", 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 not play whatsoever sounds directly as it was monophonic; instead information technology modified the cake chords on the organ equally an input signal.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electrical guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's beginning attempt to record the song was at the Record Plant on W 44 Street, New York Metropolis, on 16 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 past Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi'due south Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh endeavour 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'due south 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 drum playing with the synthesizer, while Townshend and Entwistle played electric guitar and bass.[14]

Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow trunk guitar fed through an Edwards book 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 as a demo recording, the end effect sounded and then practiced to the band and Johns, they decided to use it equally the final accept.[14] Overdubs, including an audio-visual guitar function played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[thirteen] [fourteen] The runway was mixed at Isle Studios by Johns on 28 May.[thirteen] Later Lifehouse was abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so good that they could only exist 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 Get Fooled Again" was kickoff released in the UK as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwardly to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Optics", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical style, as the pick of single. 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 single reached No. 9 in the UK charts and No. 15 in the US. Initial publicity textile showed an abased embrace of Who'south Side by side featuring Moon dressed in elevate and brandishing a whip. [18]

The full-length version of the song appeared as the endmost rails of Who's Next, released in August in the US and 27 August in the U.k., where it topped the album charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Once again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to exist integrated then successfully inside a stone song.[20] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream nearly the end of the rail every bit "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Greenbacks Box said of it that the song has "rousing magic with the Who'southward trademark instrumental and vocal force" and that "revolutionary lyric matched past the grouping's performance fervor make this a monster on its manner."[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 Silver 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 as the set closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to nail his guitar or Moon to kicking over his drumkit. The grouping performed live over the synthesizer part being played on a bankroll tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click rails, allowing him to play in sync. Information technology was the last runway Moon played alive in front end 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 film The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was function of the Who'southward ready at Live Aid in 1985, Alive 8 in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Uppercase FM'south Summer Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 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 Urban center to help enhance funds for the families of firemen and police force officers killed during the 9/xi attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audition, with shut-upwardly aerial video footage of the World Merchandise Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the group closed their prepare during the halftime prove of Super Basin XLIV with this song.[xxx] While the Who have continued to play the song alive, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for information technology, alternate between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who's Adjacent track but not necessarily the best."[32]

Several alive and alternative versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a palatial version of Who'south Next 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 April 1971.[33] The song is too included on the album Alive at the Royal Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.

Daltrey, Entwistle and Townshend have each performed the song at solo concerts. Townshend has re-arranged the song for solo performance on audio-visual guitar.[34] [35] On 30 June 1979, he performed a duet of the vocal with classical guitarist John Williams for the 1979 Amnesty International benefit The Undercover Policeman'southward Ball.[36]

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