"Won't Become Fooled Again" is a song by the English stone band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the tiptop 10 in the Great britain, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the band's 1971 album Who's Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song equally 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 being traits into a synthesizer and used information technology as the master 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 side by side calendar month using the synthesizer from Townshend'due south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward album, where it also became the endmost rail. It has been performed as a staple of the band'due south setlist since 1971, often equally the fix closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Likewise equally being a striking, the vocal has achieved disquisitional praise, actualization as i of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension. It has been covered past several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Anthology Rock Tracks nautical chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (virtually 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 song was written for the terminate of the opera, subsequently the principal character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving backside the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song as one "that screams disobedience at those who experience any 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", merely stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to see what you lot look to see. Expect cypher and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the vocal showed Townshend "proverb things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the get-go time."[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 allow him to communicate these ideas to a mass audition.[8] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing homo 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 more", 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 whatever sounds directly as information technology was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ every bit an input betoken.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed past Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's first attempt to record the song was at the Record Establish on W 44 Street, New York City, on sixteen March 1971. Manager Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the grouping, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto piece of work was done by Felix Pappalardi. This have featured Pappalardi's Mount 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 fabricated at the start of April at Mick Jagger'south business firm, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to assistance with production, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to be inferior 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 past Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his principal electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the terminate outcome sounded and so skillful to the band and Johns, they decided to utilize it as the final take.[fourteen] 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 by Johns on 28 May.[13] Later on Lifehouse was abandoned equally a project, Johns felt "Won't Become Fooled Once more", along with other songs, were so good that they could simply exist released as a standalone single 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 again" was showtime released in the United kingdom every bit a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downward to 3:35. It replaced "Backside Blue Eyes", which the group felt did not fit the Who'south established musical style, as 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 UK charts and No. fifteen in the United states. Initial publicity material showed an abased cover of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in elevate and brandishing a whip.[18]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared as the endmost track of Who's Next, released in Baronial in the United states of america and 27 August in the Uk, where information technology topped the album charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated and then successfully inside a rock song.[twenty] Who author Dave Marsh described vocaliser Roger Daltrey'due south scream near the end of the track every bit "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's trademark instrumental and vocal force" and that "revolutionary lyric matched past the group'southward performance fervor brand this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 'southward The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] Every bit of March 2018 it was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

The Who first performed the song live at the opening engagement of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on fourteen Feb 1971. It has subsequently been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] frequently as the gear up closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The group performed alive over the synthesizer office being played on a backing tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. Information technology was the last runway Moon played live in forepart of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the final song he e'er played with the Who at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978, which was captured on the documentary flick The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who's set at Live Aid in 1985, Live eight in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM's Summer Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station's Jingle Bell Brawl concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In Oct 2001, The Who performed the vocal 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 with "Won't Get Fooled Once again" to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aeriform video footage of the World Trade Heart buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the grouping closed their fix during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[thirty] While the Who have connected 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 rail as "the quintessential Who'southward Next track but not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the vocal accept been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a palatial version of Who'south Side by side 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 vocal is besides included on the album Live at the Royal Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.
