"Won't Become Fooled Again" is a vocal by the English rock ring the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the UK, while the full 8-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track on the ring'south 1971 album Who's Next, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the vocal every bit a closing 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 backing instrument throughout the vocal. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, merely re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a projection was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward album, where it too became the closing rails. Information technology has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, frequently as the gear up closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Besides every bit being a striking, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing equally 1 of Rolling Stone 'south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension. It has been covered past several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. Information technology has been used for several Television shows and films (most notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Background [edit]

The song was originally intended for a stone 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 audience.[three] The vocal was written for the end of the opera, after the main character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving backside the authorities and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song equally one "that screams disobedience at those who experience any crusade is better than no cause".[5] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "Nosotros'll be fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't expect to encounter what you expect to see. Wait nothing and you might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle subsequently said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and maxim them for the first time."[7]

Townshend had been reading Universal Sufism founder Inayat Khan'southward 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 audience.[viii] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-style questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the event into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an Ems VCS iii filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[nine] The synthesizer did not play any sounds directly as information technology was monophonic; instead it 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, electrical guitar, vocals and handclaps.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's starting time attempt to record the song was at the Record Plant on Westward 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'southward Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on pb guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh attempt at recording was fabricated at the start of April at Mick Jagger's house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to help with production, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ rails from Townshend'due 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.[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 primary electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the end result sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to utilise it as the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned every bit a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so good that they could simply be released as a standalone unmarried album, which became Who's Next.[16] This vocal is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Become Fooled Again" was beginning released in the U.k. as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwardly to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Eyes", which the grouping felt didn't fit the Who's established musical style, as the choice of single. Information technology was released in July in the US. 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 Britain charts and No. xv in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abased cover of Who's Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [eighteen]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared as the endmost rail of Who'due south Next, released in August in the US and 27 Baronial in the Britain, where it topped the album 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 rock song.[xx] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream almost the cease of the track as "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Greenbacks Box said of it that the song has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and vocal strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's performance fervor brand this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 'southward The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] As of March 2022 information technology was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the UK.[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who commencement performed the song live at the opening engagement of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on xiv February 1971. Information technology has subsequently been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] oft as the set closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The grouping performed alive over the synthesizer role being played on a bankroll tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, assuasive him to play in sync. Information technology was the last track Moon played alive in forepart of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the last vocal 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 vocal was part of the Who'south set at Live Help in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM's Summer Brawl concert in 2009, 2010 and 2022 and the radio station'due south Jingle Bell Brawl concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In October 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York City to assist raise funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the 9/11 attacks. They finished their set up with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aeriform video footage of the World Trade Middle buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the group airtight their ready during the halftime testify of Super Basin XLIV with this song.[thirty] While the Who have 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 track as "the quintessential Who's Next track only not necessarily the all-time."[32]

Several live and culling versions of the song accept been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who's Next was reissued to include the Tape Plant recording of the track from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Immature Vic on 26 April 1971.[33] The song is also included on the album Alive at the Regal Albert Hall, from a 2000 bear witness with Noel Gallagher guesting.

In May 2019, Daltrey and Townshend performed a version of the vocal on classroom instruments with Jimmy Fallon and his business firm band the Roots for the This night Evidence.[37] [38]
