"Won't Get Fooled Once more" is a song past the English language stone band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the UK, while the full eight-and-a-half-infinitesimal version appears as the final track on the band's 1971 album Who'south Adjacent, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song as a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and ability. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had found in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of man traits into a synthesizer and used it as the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the adjacent month using the synthesizer from Townshend'due south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse equally a project was abandoned in favour of Who'due south Next, a straightforward album, where information technology besides became the closing runway. It has been performed as a staple of the ring'due south setlist since 1971, oftentimes as the set closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played alive with the band.

Too as existence a hit, the song has achieved disquisitional praise, actualization as one of Rolling Rock 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Information technology has been covered past several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Anthology Stone Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (most notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Groundwork [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 exist obtained via a combination of band and audience.[3] The vocal was written for the cease of the opera, after the master character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The master characters disappear, leaving backside the government and regular army, who are left to groovy each other.[4] Townshend described the vocal as 1 "that screams disobedience at those who feel whatever cause is ameliorate than no cause".[5] He later on said that the vocal was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", only stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, calculation, "Don't expect to see what you wait to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle subsequently said that the vocal showed Townshend "saying things that actually mattered to him, and saying them for the first time."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan'south 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 let 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 series of sound pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled 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 after 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 as an input point.[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.[xi]

Recording [edit]

The Who'due south first attempt to record the song was at the Record Plant on Due west 44 Street, New York City, on sixteen March 1971. Director Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the grouping, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto piece of work was washed past 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 endeavour at recording was fabricated at the start of April at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[xiii] Glyn Johns was invited to assist with production, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ runway from Townshend'due south original demo, as the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to be inferior to the original. Keith Moon had to advisedly 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 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 equally a demo recording, the cease result sounded and so proficient to the band and Johns, they decided to use information technology as the final take.[xiv] Overdubs, including an audio-visual guitar office played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the stop of Apr.[13] [14] The runway was mixed at Isle Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] Later Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Go Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so good that they could just be released every bit a standalone single anthology, which became Who'due south Next.[sixteen] This song is written in the primal of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Go Fooled Once again" was first released in the UK equally a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwardly to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Eyes", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical style, every bit the selection of unmarried. 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 UK charts and No. fifteen in the Usa. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in elevate and brandishing a whip. [xviii]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared equally the closing track of Who's Next, released in August in the Usa and 27 August in the UK, where information technology topped the anthology charts.[nineteen] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew potent praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated so successfully within a rock song.[20] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream about the cease of the runway as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Greenbacks 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 group'due south operation fervor brand 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] As of March 2018 it was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the U.k..[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who kickoff performed the vocal live at the opening date of a serial of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on 14 Feb 1971. It has subsequently been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often equally the ready 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 function being played on a bankroll tape, which required Moon to wearable headphones to hear a click rails, allowing him to play in sync. It was the last track Moon played live in front of a paying audience on 21 October 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 vocal was part of the Who'due south set at Live Assist in 1985, Alive 8 in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Upper-case letter FM'southward Summertime Brawl concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station's Jingle Bell Brawl concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In October 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York City to help raise funds for the families of firemen and police force officers killed during the ix/11 attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aeriform video footage of the World Trade Centre buildings playing backside them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the group closed their gear up during the halftime bear witness of Super Basin XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who have continued to play the song live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who's Next track but 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 track from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Immature Vic on 26 April 1971.[33] The song is too included on the anthology Live at the Regal Albert Hall, from a 2000 prove with Noel Gallagher guesting.
