"Won't Get Fooled Once more" is a song past the English rock band the Who, written past Pete Townshend. It was released as a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the top x in the UK, while the total viii-and-a-half-minute version appears equally the final runway on the band'southward 1971 album Who'southward 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 found in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human traits into a synthesizer and used information technology every bit the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, simply re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the adjacent calendar month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse every bit a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing track. Information technology has been performed as a staple of the band'due south setlist since 1971, often equally the ready closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Besides as being a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as one 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. Information technology has been used for several TV shows and films (nigh notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Background [edit]

The song was originally intended for a stone 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 vocal was written for the end of the opera, afterwards the primary character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The chief characters disappear, leaving behind the government and regular army, who are left to not bad each other.[4] Townshend described the vocal equally 1 "that screams defiance at those who feel whatever cause is better than no cause".[5] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could exist unpredictable, calculation, "Don't look to see what you expect to see. Expect nil and you might gain everything."[half-dozen] Bassist John Entwistle later on said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the first time."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan'south 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 consequence into a series of sound pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Once again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[viii] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[ix] The synthesizer did not play any sounds directly as information technology was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ every bit an input indicate.[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 offset attempt to record the song was at the Record Plant on W 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 work was done by Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on atomic number 82 guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh attempt at recording was made at the offset of Apr at Mick Jagger'due south house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to help with production, and he decided to re-employ the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the office in New York was felt to be junior to the original. Keith Moon had to advisedly 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 main electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended every bit a demo recording, the stop issue sounded then expert to the ring and Johns, they decided to apply information technology as the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an audio-visual guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the finish of April.[13] [14] The runway was mixed at Island Studios past Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned as a projection, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", forth with other songs, were and so good that they could merely be released as a standalone single album, which became Who's Next.[xvi] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Once more" was outset released in the U.k. as a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to three:35. It replaced "Backside Blue Eyes", which the grouping felt didn't 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. 9 in the UK charts and No. xv in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abased cover of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in elevate and brandishing a whip. [eighteen]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared as the closing track of Who'due south Next, released in August in the Usa and 27 August in the UK, 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 rock song.[20] Who writer Dave Marsh described vocalizer Roger Daltrey's scream near the end of the runway as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Cash Box said of information technology that the song has "rousing magic with the Who'southward trademark instrumental and song force" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group'southward functioning fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] Every bit of March 2018 information technology was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the Great britain.[24]

Live 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 permit Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The group performed alive over the synthesizer part being played on a backing tape, which required Moon to article of clothing headphones to hear a click track, assuasive him to play in sync. It was the final track Moon played alive in front of a paying audience on 21 Oct 1976[27] and the final 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 song was office of the Who's set at Alive Assist in 1985, Alive 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM's Summertime Brawl concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station'due south 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 enhance funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the 9/eleven attacks. They finished their gear up with 'Won't Get Fooled Once again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with shut-up aeriform video footage of the World Trade Center buildings playing backside 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.[thirty] While the Who have continued to play the song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who'due south Side by side track only not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and culling versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who'southward 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 also included on the album Live at the Majestic Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.

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

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