"Won't Get Fooled Again" 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 top 10 in the United kingdom, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears equally the final track on the ring's 1971 album Who's Side by side, released that Baronial.

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 vocal in New York in March 1971, just re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend'due south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who'due south Next, a straightforward anthology, where it too became the closing rail. It has been performed equally a staple of the ring's setlist since 1971, often as the gear up closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Also as being a hit, the song has accomplished critical praise, appearing as ane of Rolling Stone '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 Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several Goggle box shows and films (almost notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns. Information technology was used in the 2005 film Bugged and in the 2022 Top Gun Bohemian.

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 ring and audience.[3] The song was written for the end of the opera, afterwards the chief character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The principal characters disappear, leaving behind the regime and army, who are left to not bad 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 not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll exist fighting in the streets", only stressed that revolution could exist unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to see what you expect to run into. Expect nothing and you lot might proceeds everything."[vi] Bassist John Entwistle after said that the vocal showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the starting time 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 audience.[viii] 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 result into a serial of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS iii filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[viii] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did not play whatever sounds directly as information technology was monophonic; instead it modified the block 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, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[eleven]

Recording [edit]

The Who's start effort to record the song was at the Record Establish on West 44 Street, New York City, on xvi March 1971. Managing director 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 take featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh attempt at recording was made at the start of Apr at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to help with product, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend'due south original demo, equally the re-recording of the function 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.[fourteen]

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 past Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his chief electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[fifteen] Although intended as a demo recording, the end result sounded and so good to the ring and Johns, they decided to employ it every bit the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar function played past Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[13] [fourteen] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Become Fooled Again", along with other songs, were and then proficient that they could simply be released as a standalone single album, which became Who'south Next.[16] This vocal is written in the cardinal of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Again" was showtime released in the Britain every bit a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwardly to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Optics", which the group felt did not fit the Who's established musical style, as the choice of single. It was released in July in the US. 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 UK charts and No. xv in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who's Side by side featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip.[18]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared every bit the closing track of Who'south Next, released in Baronial in the The states and 27 August in the U.k., where it topped the album charts.[nineteen] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated then successfully within a rock song.[twenty] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream nigh the end of the track as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Greenbacks Box said of it that the vocal has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and song forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's functioning fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Rock '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]

It has subsequently been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often every bit the ready closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to nail his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The group performed live over the synthesizer part existence played on a bankroll record, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click rails, allowing him to play in sync. Information technology was the last rail Moon played live in forepart of a paying audition on 21 Oct 1976[27] and the last 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 vocal was part of the Who'southward set at Live Aid in 1985, Alive viii in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital letter FM'due south 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 law officers killed during the ix/11 attacks. They finished their set up with "Won't Become Fooled Again" to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aerial video footage of the Globe Trade Center buildings playing backside them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the group closed their prepare during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who take continued to play the vocal live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track equally "the quintessential Who'due south Adjacent track only 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 Next was reissued to include the Record Found recording of the rail from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Immature Vic on 26 April 1971.[33] The song is also included on the anthology Live at the Majestic Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.
