"Won't Go Fooled Once more" is a song past the English rock ring the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the superlative x in the UK, while the total eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the concluding rail on the band's 1971 album Who's Next, released that August.

Townshend wrote the song as 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 homo traits into a synthesizer and used it every bit the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the vocal 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 project was abandoned in favour of Who'southward Next, a straightforward album, where it as well became the closing track. Information technology has been performed equally a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often every bit the set closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the ring.

Too as being a hit, the vocal has achieved critical praise, appearing every bit one of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension. It 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 (virtually 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 regime and ground forces, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song as 1 "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is better than no cause".[five] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll be fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't wait to see what you expect to see. Wait nothing and you lot might gain everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "proverb things that really mattered to him, and proverb them for the start fourth dimension."[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 homo personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with full general practitioner-fashion questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the event into a serial of sound pulses. For the demo of "Won't Become Fooled Once more", he linked a Lowrey organ into an Ems VCS 3 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 whatever sounds directly as it was monophonic; instead information technology modified the cake chords on the organ every bit an input signal.[10] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electrical guitar, vocals and handclaps.[xi]

Recording [edit]

The Who's kickoff endeavor to record the song was at the Record 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 piece of work was washed past Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie Due west, on atomic number 82 guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to exist unable to mix the track, and a fresh try at recording was made at the kickoff of Apr at Mick Jagger'southward house, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[13] Glyn Johns was invited to assistance with product, 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.[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 past Joe Walsh while in New York. This combination became his main electric guitar recording setup for subsequent albums.[15] Although intended as a demo recording, the cease result sounded and then proficient to the band and Johns, they decided to use it as the last have.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar part played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the end of Apr.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios past Johns on 28 May.[13] Later on Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were then adept that they could simply be released as a standalone single album, which became Who's Next.[16] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Go Fooled Over again" was beginning released in the UK as a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downwards to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Optics", which the group felt didn't fit the Who's established musical style, as the pick of single. It was released in July in the United states. 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 unmarried reached No. nine in the Great britain charts and No. xv in the Usa. Initial publicity textile showed an abandoned encompass of Who's Adjacent featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [xviii]

The full-length version of the song appeared equally the endmost rail of Who's Next, released in August in the United states of america and 27 August in the Great britain, where it topped the album charts.[19] "Won't Get Fooled Once more" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated and then successfully within a rock song.[20] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream near 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'south trademark instrumental and vocal forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched past the grouping'due south performance fervor make this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Rock 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] Every bit of March 2018 it was certified Silver for 200,000 sold copies in the Britain.[24]

The Who first performed the song live at the opening date of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on fourteen Feb 1971. It has subsequently been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] often as the fix closer and sometimes extended slightly to allow Townshend to smash his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The group performed live over the synthesizer part being played on a backing tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. It was the concluding track Moon played live in forepart of a paying audition on 21 Oct 1976[27] and the last 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 Alive Help in 1985, Alive 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital 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 October 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York City to help raise funds for the families of firemen and law officers killed during the 9/11 attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audition, with close-up aerial video footage of the World Merchandise Center buildings playing behind them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the grouping closed their set up during the halftime bear witness of Super Bowl XLIV with this vocal.[30] 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 just not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the song accept been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a palatial version of Who's Adjacent was reissued to include the Record Establish recording of the track from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Immature Vic on 26 Apr 1971.[33] The song is as well included on the album Live at the Purple Albert Hall, from a 2000 bear witness with Noel Gallagher guesting.
