"Won't Go Fooled Over again" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written past Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the United kingdom, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the last runway on the band'south 1971 album Who'due south 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 institute in music via the works of Meher Baba and Inayat Khan, he programmed a mixture of man traits into a synthesizer and used it as the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior accept at Stargroves the side by side calendar month using the synthesizer from Townshend'southward original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Next, a straightforward album, where information technology also became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, ofttimes as the prepare closer, and was the terminal song drummer Keith Moon played alive with the band.

Too every bit being a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as 1 of Rolling Rock 'south The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered by several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. 1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (nearly notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Groundwork [edit]

The vocal 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 band and audience.[three] The song was written for the end of the opera, afterward the main grapheme, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to bang-up each other.[4] Townshend described the song every bit one "that screams defiance at those who feel any crusade is better than no cause".[5] He later said that the song was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll exist fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could exist unpredictable, adding, "Don't wait to see what you expect to see. Wait nothing and yous might proceeds everything."[six] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "maxim things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the beginning time."[vii]

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.[8] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human personality inside music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-fashion questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a serial 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.[eight] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did not play any sounds directly as it was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ equally an input indicate.[x] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed past Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[eleven]

Recording [edit]

The Who's first effort to tape the song was at the Record Plant on W 44 Street, New York City, on sixteen 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 past Felix Pappalardi. This have featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on atomic number 82 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 product, and he decided to re-use the synthesized organ track from Townshend's original demo, equally the re-recording of the function 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 electric guitar and bass.[14]

Townshend played a 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollow body guitar fed through an Edwards book 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 stop result sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to use it as the final have.[xiv] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar role played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the cease of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[13] After Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Become Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so good that they could but be released as a standalone single album, which became Who'south Side by side.[16] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Again" was showtime released in the UK every bit 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'southward established musical style, as the choice of single. It 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. 9 in the UK charts and No. 15 in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abased cover 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 track of Who'due south Side by side, released in August in the US and 27 Baronial in the UK, 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.[20] Who author Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream near the end of the rail every bit "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Greenbacks Box said of information technology that the song has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and vocal forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's performance fervor brand this a monster on its way."[22] In 2021, the song was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] Equally of March 2018 it was certified Argent for 200,000 sold copies in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland.[24]

It has afterward been part of every Who concert since,[25] [26] ofttimes every bit the fix closer and sometimes extended slightly to let Townshend to boom his guitar or Moon to kick over his drumkit. The group performed alive over the synthesizer role being played on a backing tape, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click track, assuasive him to play in sync. It was the last runway Moon played alive in front of a paying audition 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 song was function of the Who'due south prepare at Live Assistance in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Capital FM'southward Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station'due south Jingle Bong Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In October 2001, The Who performed the vocal at The Concert for New York Urban center to help raise funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the nine/11 attacks. They finished their set with "Won't Get Fooled Once more" to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aerial video footage of the World Trade Center buildings playing backside them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the group airtight their set during the halftime show of Super Basin XLIV with this song.[30] While the Who have continued to play the vocal live, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating between pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the rails as "the quintessential Who's Next rails but not necessarily the all-time."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the song take been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who'due south Adjacent was reissued to include the Record Plant recording of the rails from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Young Vic on 26 April 1971.[33] The song is as well included on the album Alive at the Purple Albert Hall, from a 2000 bear witness with Noel Gallagher guesting.
