"Won't Get Fooled Once more" is a song by the English language rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. Information technology was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the superlative 10 in the UK, while the full viii-and-a-one-half-minute version appears as the final rail on the ring's 1971 anthology Who'southward Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song as a closing 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 homo 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 have at Stargroves the next calendar month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse equally a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Adjacent, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often as the ready closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

As well every bit existence 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 past several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album Stone Tracks nautical chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (most notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Background [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 be obtained via a combination of ring and audience.[3] The song was written for the end of the opera, after the main graphic symbol, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the authorities and ground forces, who are left to dandy each other.[4] Townshend described the song as 1 "that screams defiance at those who experience whatsoever cause is improve than no cause".[5] He after said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", simply stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to run across what you lot expect to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[half dozen] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and proverb them for the first 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 man 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 Become Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an EMS VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[eight] 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 equally 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 Plant on W 44 Street, New York City, on 16 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 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 made at the get-go of April at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to assist 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 advisedly synchronise his drum playing with the synthesizer, while Townshend and Entwistle played electric guitar and bass.[xiv]

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 master electrical guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the finish outcome sounded so good to the ring and Johns, they decided to apply information technology as the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar role played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the finish of April.[13] [14] The rails was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] Afterward Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so adept that they could simply exist released as a standalone single album, which became Who'due south Next.[16] This vocal is written in the central of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Once more" was starting time released in the UK as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downward to three:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Optics", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical mode, equally the selection of single. It was released in July in the US. The B-side, "I Don't Fifty-fifty Know Myself" was recorded at Eel Pie Studios in 1970 for a planned EP that was never released. The unmarried reached No. ix in the U.k. charts and No. 15 in the US. Initial publicity textile showed an abased embrace of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [18]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared equally the closing track of Who's Next, released in Baronial in the US and 27 August in the U.k., 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 exist integrated and so successfully within a rock song.[xx] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream about the finish of the track as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Cash Box said of it that the vocal has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and vocal strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched past 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 2022 it was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the Uk.[24]

Information technology has subsequently been office of every Who concert since,[25] [26] frequently as the ready closer and sometimes extended slightly to permit Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kicking over his drumkit. The group performed live over the synthesizer part existence played on a backing tape, which required Moon to clothing headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. It was the concluding rails Moon played alive in front of a paying audience on 21 Oct 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 film The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who'due south set at Live Assistance in 1985, Live eight in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM'southward Summertime Brawl concert in 2009, 2010 and 2022 and the radio station's Jingle Bell Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

They finished their prepare with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aerial video footage of the World Trade Centre buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the group airtight their set during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who have continued to play the song alive, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for information technology, alternate between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who'southward Next rails only non necessarily the all-time."[32]

Several alive and alternative versions of the song accept been released on CD or DVD.
