"Won't Go Fooled Again" is a vocal by the English stone band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released equally a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the superlative x in the UK, while the total eight-and-a-half-minute version appears every bit the final track on the band'southward 1971 anthology Who's Next, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the song equally a endmost 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 traits into a synthesizer and used it as the main bankroll instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the next 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 anthology, where it also became the closing track. It has been performed every bit a staple of the band'south setlist since 1971, ofttimes equally the set closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the ring.

Equally well as being a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, actualization equally one of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension. It has been covered by several artists, such every bit Van Halen, who took their version to No. i on the Billboard Album Rock 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 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 exist obtained via a combination of band and audience.[3] The song was written for the cease of the opera, afterwards the main grapheme, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The principal characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song equally one "that screams defiance at those who feel whatsoever crusade is better than no cause".[5] He subsequently said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", just stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, calculation, "Don't await to come across what y'all expect to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle afterwards said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that actually mattered to him, and maxim them for the first time."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan's 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 allow him to communicate these ideas to a mass audience.[eight] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-manner questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the consequence into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Once again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an Ems 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 non play whatsoever sounds directly as information technology 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 by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[xi]

Recording [edit]

The Who'southward offset effort to record the song was at the Record Plant on Westward 44 Street, New York City, on xvi 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 washed by Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie Due west, on pb 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'south house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to assist with production, and he decided to re-apply the synthesized organ track from Townshend'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 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 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 electrical guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended every bit a demo recording, the end consequence sounded so skillful to the ring and Johns, they decided to utilize it equally the final have.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[13] [xiv] The runway was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abased as a projection, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Once again", along with other songs, were so good that they could merely exist released as a standalone single anthology, which became Who's Next.[sixteen] This vocal is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

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. nine in the Great britain charts and No. fifteen in the U.s.. Initial publicity fabric showed an abandoned comprehend of Who'due south Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [18]

The full-length version of the song appeared as the closing track of Who's Next, released in August in the US and 27 August in the UK, where it topped the anthology charts.[19] "Won't Become Fooled Once 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 near the end of the track equally "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Cash Box said of it that the song has "rousing magic with the Who'southward trademark instrumental and vocal strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group'southward operation fervor brand 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 Time.[23] As of March 2018 it was certified Argent for 200,000 sold copies in the United kingdom.[24]

The group performed alive over the synthesizer role being played on a bankroll tape, which required Moon to article of clothing 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 audition 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 motion picture The Kids Are Alright.[28] The vocal was role of the Who'due south set at Live Aid in 1985, Live viii in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM's Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station'southward Jingle Bell Brawl concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

They finished their set up with 'Won't Get Fooled Over again' to a responsive and emotional audition, with close-upwardly aerial video footage of the Globe Trade Centre buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the group closed their fix during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this song.[xxx] While the Who take 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 runway as "the quintessential Who's Adjacent track merely not necessarily the all-time."[32]
