"Won't Get Fooled Again" is a vocal by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released equally a single in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the UK, while the total eight-and-a-half-minute version appears every bit the final track on the band's 1971 album Who'southward Next, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the vocal every bit a closing number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and ability. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had establish in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of human being traits into a synthesizer and used it as the master backing instrument throughout the vocal. The Who tried recording the song 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's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who'due south Next, a straightforward album, where it likewise became the endmost runway. It has been performed equally a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, oftentimes equally the gear up closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

As well equally being a striking, the song has accomplished disquisitional praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Information technology has been covered by several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. one on the Billboard Album Rock 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 exist obtained via a combination of band and audience.[3] The song was written for the finish of the opera, after the main character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the government and regular army, who are left to slap-up each other.[4] Townshend described the vocal as i "that screams disobedience at those who feel any cause is better than no cause".[5] He later said that the vocal was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "Nosotros'll exist fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, calculation, "Don't wait to see what you lot expect to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later 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 permit 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 inside 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 Get 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 later on upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did not play any sounds directly equally it was monophonic; instead information technology modified the cake chords on the organ as an input signal.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version past the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's commencement effort to record the song was at the Tape Plant on W 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 work was washed by Felix Pappalardi. This accept featured Pappalardi'south Mountain bandmate, Leslie 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'due south firm, 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 function 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 electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended every bit a demo recording, the end result sounded and so good to the band and Johns, they decided to use it as the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar office played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the cease of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Isle Studios past Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Go Fooled Again", along with other songs, were and then skillful that they could simply be released as a standalone single album, which became Who's Next.[xvi] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

It replaced "Behind Bluish Optics", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical fashion, equally the choice of unmarried. Information technology was released in July in the U.s.a.. 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. 15 in the Us.

The group performed live over the synthesizer part being played on a backing tape, which required Moon to clothing headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. Information technology was the last track Moon played live in front of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the final song he ever 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, Alive viii 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 Bong Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In February 2010, the group closed their set during the halftime testify of Super Basin XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who take continued to play the song alive, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternate betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who's Next track but not necessarily the best."[32]
