"Won't Get Fooled Once more" is a song past the English rock ring the Who, written past Pete Townshend. It was released every bit a single in June 1971, reaching the tiptop 10 in the U.k., while the full viii-and-a-half-minute version appears every bit the final track on the band's 1971 anthology Who's Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the vocal as a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had plant 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 main backing musical instrument throughout the vocal. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior have at Stargroves the adjacent month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse equally a projection was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward anthology, where it also became the endmost track. Information technology has been performed as a staple of the band'due south setlist since 1971, often as the gear up closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played alive with the band.

Equally well as being a hitting, the song has achieved disquisitional praise, appearing as one of Rolling Rock '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 Album Stone Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (nearly notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Groundwork [edit]

The vocal 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, after the master grapheme, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the authorities and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the vocal as one "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is better than no cause".[5] He later said that the vocal 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 meet what you expect to see. Wait goose egg and you might gain everything."[half-dozen] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "maxim things that really mattered to him, and proverb 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.[8] 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 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 iii 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 direct equally it was monophonic; instead it modified the cake 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 first endeavour to record the vocal was at the Record Establish on W 44 Street, New York City, on 16 March 1971. Director 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'southward Mountain bandmate, Leslie Due west, on atomic number 82 guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh try at recording was made at the start of April at Mick Jagger'southward house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[thirteen] Glyn Johns was invited to help with production, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend'southward original demo, equally the re-recording of the function in New York was felt to be junior 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 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 main electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[fifteen] Although intended equally a demo recording, the end effect sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to utilize it as the final accept.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar office played past Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[xiii] [14] The track 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 good that they could simply be released as a standalone single album, which became Who'south Next.[16] This vocal is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Become Fooled Again" was first released in the UK as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to 3:35. Information technology replaced "Backside Blue Eyes", which the grouping felt didn't fit the Who's established musical style, equally the choice of single. It was released in July in the United 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. 9 in the U.k. charts and No. 15 in the US. Initial publicity textile showed an abandoned embrace 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 Next, released in August in the US and 27 August in the UK, where information technology topped the album charts.[nineteen] "Won't Get Fooled Once more" drew stiff praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated so successfully within a rock vocal.[20] Who writer Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream almost the end of the runway 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'due south trademark instrumental and vocal forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group'south performance fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 'due south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] Equally of March 2018 it was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland.[24]

It has afterwards been role of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often every bit the fix closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The grouping performed live over the synthesizer part being played on a backing record, which required Moon to article of clothing headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. It was the terminal track Moon played live in front of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the last vocal he e'er 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 office of the Who's ready at Live Aid in 1985, Live 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 Oct 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York City to help enhance funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the 9/xi attacks. They finished their ready with 'Won't Get Fooled Once more' to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aeriform video footage of the World Trade Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the group closed their set during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who accept connected to play the song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for information technology, alternate betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the rails equally "the quintessential Who's Next track but not necessarily the all-time."[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 Plant recording of the track 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 Royal Albert Hall, from a 2000 evidence with Noel Gallagher guesting.
