"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a vocal by the English rock band the Who, written past Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the elevation 10 in the Great britain, while the total eight-and-a-one-half-minute version appears equally the last track on the ring's 1971 album Who's Next, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the song as a endmost number of the Lifehouse projection, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had establish in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of man traits into a synthesizer and used it every bit the main bankroll instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the side by side month using the synthesizer from Townshend'southward original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse every bit a project was abandoned in favour of Who'southward Next, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the band'southward setlist since 1971, often as the set closer, and was the terminal song drummer Keith Moon played alive with the band.

Too as existence a hit, the song has achieved disquisitional praise, actualization as one of Rolling Rock 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered by several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album Stone Tracks nautical chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (well-nigh notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Groundwork [edit]

The song was originally intended for a rock opera Townshend had been working on, Lifehouse, which was a multi-media practice based on his followings of the Indian religious avatar Meher Baba, showing how spiritual enlightenment could exist obtained via a combination of ring and audience.[three] The song was written for the end of the opera, after the main character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the regime and army, who are left to swell each other.[four] Townshend described the vocal every bit one "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is better than no crusade".[5] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "Nosotros'll be fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to see what you lot expect to see. Look nothing and you might gain everything."[six] Bassist John Entwistle afterwards said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that actually mattered to him, and saying them for the first time."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan'southward 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.[viii] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human being 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 audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Once 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 afterwards upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did not play whatever sounds direct as it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ every bit an input bespeak.[x] 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'south get-go attempt to record the song was at the Tape Institute on W 44 Street, New York Metropolis, on 16 March 1971. Manager Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the grouping, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto work was washed by Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie Westward, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the rails, and a fresh attempt at recording was fabricated 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-apply the synthesized organ rail from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the role 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 electrical 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 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 end result sounded then good to the band and Johns, they decided to employ information technology as the last take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar office played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of Apr.[13] [xiv] The rail was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so proficient that they could simply be released as a standalone unmarried anthology, which became Who's Adjacent.[xvi] This vocal is written in the primal of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Go Fooled Again" was starting time released in the Uk as a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to 3:35. Information technology replaced "Behind Blue Eyes", which the grouping felt did not fit the Who's established musical style, every bit the choice of single. Information technology was released in July in the The states. 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. nine in the UK charts and No. fifteen in the United states. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned encompass of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip.[xviii]

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.[nineteen] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew potent praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to exist integrated so successfully within a rock song.[20] Who writer Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream nearly the terminate of the track 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 song strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group'south operation fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 'south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] As of March 2018 it was certified Argent for 200,000 sold copies in the U.k..[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who first performed the song alive at the opening date of a serial of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on 14 Feb 1971. Information technology has later on been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often as the gear up 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 part being played on a backing tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click rails, allowing him to play in sync. It was the last rails Moon played alive in front 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 motion-picture show The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who's prepare at Live Assist in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital 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 Urban center to help raise 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 audition, with close-upwards aerial video footage of the World Trade Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. 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 song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who'due south Adjacent track only not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the vocal have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who's 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 besides included on the album Live at the Royal Albert Hall, from a 2000 prove with Noel Gallagher guesting.

Daltrey, Entwistle and Townshend accept 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 song with classical guitarist John Williams for the 1979 Amnesty International benefit The Secret Policeman'south 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 Show.[37] [38]
