"Won't Get Fooled Over again" is a song past the English stone ring the Who, written by Pete Townshend. Information technology was released every bit a single in June 1971, reaching the elevation 10 in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, while the total eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final runway on the ring'south 1971 album Who's Next, 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 connectedness he had plant 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 musical instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, only re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the adjacent month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abased in favour of Who'south Next, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing rail. It has been performed as a staple of the ring's setlist since 1971, ofttimes as the set closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played alive with the band.

As well equally being a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Rock 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Information technology has been covered past several artists, such equally Van Halen, who took their version to No. ane on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several Television set shows and films (nigh 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 exercise 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 finish of the opera, later the main character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song every bit one "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is better than no cause".[five] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll exist fighting in the streets", only stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't wait to see what yous expect to see. Expect nothing and yous might proceeds everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that actually mattered to him, and saying them for the get-go 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 being personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with full 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 Become Fooled Over 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 information technology was monophonic; instead it modified the cake chords on the organ equally an input signal.[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 outset attempt to record the song was at the Tape Constitute 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 Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the rails, and a fresh attempt at recording was made at the first 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 exist inferior to the original. Keith Moon had to advisedly 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 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 main electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[fifteen] Although intended as a demo recording, the end outcome sounded so skilful to the band and Johns, they decided to apply information technology as the terminal take.[fourteen] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played past Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[xiii] [fourteen] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] Later on Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Become Fooled Once again", along with other songs, were so practiced that they could just be released as a standalone single album, which became Who'south Adjacent.[sixteen] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Again" was first released in the UK as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwardly to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Bluish Optics", which the group felt did not fit the Who's established musical style, as the choice of unmarried. It was released in July in the United states of america. 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. ix in the Great britain charts and No. 15 in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned embrace of Who'southward Adjacent featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip.[18]

The full-length version of the song appeared as the closing runway of Who's Next, released in Baronial in the United states and 27 August in the U.k., where it topped the anthology charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated so successfully within a stone song.[20] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey'southward scream near the end of the track 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'south trademark instrumental and vocal strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's performance fervor make this a monster on its manner."[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 Silverish for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[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 afterward been office of every Who concert since,[25] [26] oft every bit the prepare closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kicking over his drumkit. The group performed live over the synthesizer part beingness played on a bankroll tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click runway, allowing him to play in sync. It was the last track Moon played alive in front of a paying audience on 21 Oct 1976[27] and the terminal song he e'er 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 part of the Who's set at Live Assist in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Uppercase FM's Summer Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station'due south Jingle Bong Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In October 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York Urban center to help raise funds for the families of firemen and law officers killed during the ix/11 attacks. They finished their fix with "Won't Get Fooled Over again" to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aeriform video footage of the Globe Merchandise Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the grouping closed their set during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who have continued to play the vocal alive, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternate betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track every bit "the quintessential Who's Adjacent 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 deluxe 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 song is also included on the album Live at the Royal Albert Hall, from a 2000 show with Noel Gallagher guesting.
