"Won't Go Fooled Again" is a song by the English rock ring the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the tiptop 10 in the UK, while the full eight-and-a-one-half-infinitesimal version appears every bit the final track on the band'southward 1971 album Who's Side by side, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song as a closing number of the Lifehouse projection, and the lyrics criticise revolution and ability. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had establish 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 song. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend'southward original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse equally a project was abandoned in favour of Who'south Next, a straightforward anthology, where it also became the endmost runway. It has been performed equally a staple of the band'south setlist since 1971, often equally the set closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Every bit well as being a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 'south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered by several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. ane on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several Television receiver shows and films (virtually 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 exist obtained via a combination of ring and audition.[3] The vocal was written for the end of the opera, later on the main graphic symbol, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The chief characters disappear, leaving behind the government and ground forces, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the vocal as 1 "that screams defiance at those who experience 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, calculation, "Don't await to see what you lot await to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[vi] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that actually mattered to him, and saying them for the outset fourth dimension."[vii]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan's The Mysticism of Audio 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 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 series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Again", 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.[nine] The synthesizer did not play any sounds directly equally it was monophonic; instead it modified the cake chords on the organ every bit an input bespeak.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version past the Who, was completed past Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electrical guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's first attempt to record the song was at the Record Establish on West 44 Street, New York City, on sixteen 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 by Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mount bandmate, Leslie Westward, 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 firm, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[thirteen] Glyn Johns was invited to assist with production, and he decided to re-utilize the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to exist 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 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 primary electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the end result sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to utilise it every bit the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the stop of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[thirteen] Subsequently Lifehouse was abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", forth with other songs, were so good that they could simply be released as a standalone unmarried album, which became Who's Side by side.[sixteen] This song is written in the central of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Once more" was first released in the UK as a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwards to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Bluish Eyes", which the group felt did not fit the Who'south established musical style, as the selection 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. 15 in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who's Side by side featuring Moon dressed in elevate and brandishing a whip.[eighteen]

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 United kingdom, where information technology topped the album charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew stiff praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated so successfully within a stone vocal.[twenty] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream well-nigh the end of the track equally "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Cash Box said of it that the vocal has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and vocal forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group'southward performance fervor make this a monster on its style."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension.[23] As of March 2018 information technology was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the U.k..[24]

Alive performances [edit]

The Who get-go performed the vocal alive at the opening date of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Immature Vic theatre, London on fourteen February 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 blast his guitar or Moon to kicking over his drumkit. The grouping performed live over the synthesizer part being played on a backing record, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. Information technology was the last track Moon played live in front of a paying audience on 21 October 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'south set at Live Aid in 1985, Alive 8 in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Majuscule 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 Oct 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York Urban center to aid raise funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the ix/11 attacks. They finished their set with "Won't Get Fooled Again" to a responsive and emotional audition, with shut-up aerial 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 it, alternate betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who's Side by side track just not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a palatial version of Who'southward Next was reissued to include the Record Plant recording of the rails from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Young Vic on 26 April 1971.[33] The song is as well included on the album Live at the Imperial Albert Hall, from a 2000 bear witness with Noel Gallagher guesting.

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