"Won't Get Fooled Over again" is a song by the English language stone band the Who, written past Pete Townshend. It was released equally a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the tiptop x in the UK, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the band's 1971 album Who'south Next, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the song as 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 vocal. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the adjacent month using the synthesizer from Townshend'southward original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a projection was abased in favour of Who'due south 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 as the set closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Too as existence a hit, 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 as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (virtually notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Background [edit]

The vocal was originally intended for a stone 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 be obtained via a combination of band and audience.[3] The vocal was written for the end of the opera, after the main grapheme, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The master characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to groovy each other.[4] Townshend described the song as one "that screams defiance at those who experience any crusade is improve 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", simply stressed that revolution could exist unpredictable, adding, "Don't look to meet what y'all expect to see. Expect nada and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the vocal showed Townshend "saying things that actually mattered to him, and saying them for the first fourth dimension."[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 let 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 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 subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did not play any sounds directly as it was monophonic; instead it modified the cake chords on the organ as an input signal.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by 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 Plant on W 44 Street, New York Metropolis, on 16 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 washed by Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on pb guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to exist unable to mix the rail, and a fresh endeavour at recording was made at the start of April at Mick Jagger'southward house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to aid with production, and he decided to re-utilise the synthesized organ runway from Townshend'southward original demo, as the re-recording of the office 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 electrical guitar and bass.[14]

Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow body guitar fed through an Edwards book pedal to a Fender Bandmaster amp, all of which he had been given past Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his main electrical guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the stop event sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to use information technology equally the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar office played past Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of Apr.[xiii] [14] The runway was mixed at Island Studios past Johns on 28 May.[thirteen] After Lifehouse was abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Go Fooled Again", along with other songs, were and then expert that they could simply be released as a standalone unmarried album, which became Who's Next.[16] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Once more" was first released in the United kingdom equally a single 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 way, every bit 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 United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland charts and No. 15 in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who's Adjacent featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip.[xviii]

The total-length version of the song appeared every bit the closing track of Who'southward Next, released in August in the United states and 27 Baronial in the Uk, where it topped the album charts.[nineteen] "Won't Get Fooled Over again" drew potent praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to exist integrated and so successfully inside a stone vocal.[20] Who author 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 it that the song has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and vocal force" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the grouping'due south functioning fervor make this a monster on its fashion."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 'southward The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] As of March 2018 information technology was certified Silvery for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who offset performed the song live at the opening engagement of a serial of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on 14 February 1971. Information technology has later been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often equally the fix closer and sometimes extended slightly to permit Townshend to nail his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The grouping performed alive over the synthesizer office being played on a bankroll record, which required Moon to wear 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 song he e'er played with the Who at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978, which was captured on the documentary movie The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who's set at Alive Assistance in 1985, Live eight in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Upper-case 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 October 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York Metropolis to help raise funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the 9/xi attacks. They finished their set up with "Won't Get Fooled Again" 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 gear up during the halftime bear witness of Super Basin XLIV with this song.[thirty] While the Who have continued to play the song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternate between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the runway as "the quintessential Who's Next runway but non necessarily the all-time."[32]

Several live and culling versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who's Adjacent was reissued to include the Tape Found recording of the track from March 1971 and a alive version recorded at the Young Vic on 26 April 1971.[33] The song is also included on the album Live at the Royal Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.

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