"Won't Become Fooled Once more" is a song past the English rock band the Who, written past Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top ten in the UK, while the total eight-and-a-half-infinitesimal version appears as the final track on the band'south 1971 album Who's Next, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the vocal as a closing number of the Lifehouse projection, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connectedness 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 equally 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 next calendar month using the synthesizer from Townshend'south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Adjacent, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing track. It has been performed equally a staple of the band'south setlist since 1971, often as the set closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played alive with the ring.

As well as being a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing equally 1 of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Information technology has been covered by several artists, such equally Van Halen, who took their version to No. ane on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. Information technology has been used for several TV shows and films (most notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Background [edit]

The vocal was originally intended for a rock opera Townshend had been working on, Lifehouse, which was a multi-media practise based on his followings of the Indian religious avatar Meher Baba, showing how spiritual enlightenment could be obtained via a combination of band and audition.[3] The song was written for the end of the opera, after the main character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The principal characters disappear, leaving backside the government and army, who are left to neat each other.[4] Townshend described the song as ane "that screams disobedience at those who experience whatsoever cause is ameliorate than no cause".[5] He afterward said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll exist fighting in the streets", just stressed that revolution could exist unpredictable, adding, "Don't wait to see what you expect to encounter. Expect nothing and yous might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle subsequently said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and saying 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 human personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with full general practitioner-manner 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 Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an European monetary system VCS iii filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He afterwards upgraded to an ARP 2500.[nine] The synthesizer did non play any sounds direct every bit it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ equally an input signal.[x] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[eleven]

Recording [edit]

The Who'due south beginning endeavour to tape the song was at the Record Establish on W 44 Street, New York Urban center, on 16 March 1971. Director Kit Lambert had recommended the studio to the grouping, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto work was done past Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi'due south Mountain bandmate, Leslie Due west, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh attempt at recording was made at the start of April at Mick Jagger's business firm, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to help with production, and he decided to re-employ the synthesized organ runway from Townshend's original demo, equally the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to exist inferior 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 torso 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 principal electrical guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[xv] Although intended every bit a demo recording, the stop upshot sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to use information technology every bit the concluding accept.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of Apr.[thirteen] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[thirteen] Later on Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were then good that they could just be released equally a standalone unmarried album, which became Who's Next.[16] This vocal is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

"Won't Get Fooled Once again" was first released in the U.k. as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited down to 3:35. It replaced "Backside Blue Eyes", which the group felt did not fit the Who's established musical style, every bit the choice of single. It was released in July in the Usa. 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. xv in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned encompass of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in elevate and brandishing a whip.[18]

The full-length version of the song appeared as the endmost track of Who's Next, released in August in the US and 27 Baronial in the UK, where it topped the album charts.[nineteen] "Won't Get Fooled Again" drew stiff praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to exist integrated and then successfully within a rock song.[xx] Who author Dave Marsh described vocalist Roger Daltrey's scream nigh the cease of the track every bit "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 force" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the grouping'south operation fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension.[23] As of March 2018 it was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the United kingdom.[24]

It has after been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often as the set up closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kicking over his drumkit. The grouping performed alive over the synthesizer role being played on a backing tape, which required Moon to article of clothing headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. It was the last track Moon played alive 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 motion-picture show The Kids Are Alright.[28] The vocal was function of the Who'south set at Live Assistance in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital 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 Oct 2001, The Who performed the vocal at The Concert for New York Metropolis to help heighten funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the 9/11 attacks. 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 Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the grouping closed their prepare during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[thirty] While the Who accept connected to play the song alive, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the rail as "the quintessential Who's Next track but not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the song take been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who's Adjacent 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.
