"Won't Go Fooled Over again" is a song by the English rock ring the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the Uk, while the total eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the terminal rails 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 ability. To symbolise the spiritual connexion 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 equally the main backing musical instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, just re-recorded a superior accept at Stargroves the adjacent month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abandoned in favour of Who's Side by side, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing rail. It has been performed equally a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often as the prepare closer, and was the concluding song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

As well as being a hitting, the vocal has accomplished critical praise, appearing as 1 of Rolling Stone 's 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 Anthology Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (almost notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Background [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 exist obtained via a combination of ring and audition.[3] The song was written for the stop of the opera, after the master character, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The primary characters disappear, leaving behind the regime and army, who are left to bang-up each other.[4] Townshend described the vocal equally one "that screams defiance at those who experience any cause is improve than no cause".[5] 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 await to see what you expect to see. Expect zippo and you might proceeds everything."[6] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the vocal showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the get-go time."[seven]

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 being personality within music. Townshend interviewed several people with full general practitioner-mode questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the issue into a series of audio pulses. For the demo of "Won't Become Fooled Again", he linked a Lowrey organ into an Ems VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[viii] He subsequently upgraded to an ARP 2500.[nine] The synthesizer did not play any sounds straight as it was monophonic; instead it modified the cake chords on the organ as an input signal.[x] 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.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who'south offset effort to record the song was at the Record Plant on W 44 Street, New York City, on 16 March 1971. Managing director 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 accept featured Pappalardi'south Mountain bandmate, Leslie West, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh endeavour at recording was fabricated at the kickoff 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-apply the synthesized organ rails from Townshend's original demo, equally the re-recording of the part in New York was felt to exist inferior to the original. Keith Moon had to carefully synchronise his pulsate 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 terminate result sounded then proficient to the band and Johns, they decided to use it every bit the terminal 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 Isle Studios by Johns on 28 May.[thirteen] After Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", along with other songs, were so good that they could simply be released equally a standalone unmarried album, which became Who's Next.[xvi] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

Release [edit]

"Won't Get Fooled Again" was showtime released in the UK as a unmarried A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downward to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blue Eyes", which the grouping felt didn't fit the Who'due south established musical fashion, as the choice of unmarried. It was released in July in the US. The B-side, "I Don't Fifty-fifty Know Myself" was recorded at Eel Pie Studios in 1970 for a planned EP that was never released. The unmarried reached No. ix in the UK charts and No. xv in the Usa. Initial publicity textile showed an abandoned cover of Who'south Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip. [18]

The full-length version of the vocal appeared equally the closing runway of Who'southward Adjacent, released in Baronial in the US and 27 August in the United kingdom, where it topped the anthology charts.[nineteen] "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 stone song.[20] Who writer Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey'south scream near the stop of the rails equally "the greatest scream of a career filled with screams".[21] Cash Box said of it that the vocal has "rousing magic with the Who's trademark instrumental and vocal forcefulness" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the group's performance fervor make 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] As of March 2022 it was certified Silverish for 200,000 sold copies in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland.[24]

Live performances [edit]

The Who offset performed the song live at the opening appointment of a series of Lifehouse-related concerts in the Young Vic theatre, London on 14 February 1971. It 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 group performed live over the synthesizer part existence played on a backing record, which required Moon to wear headphones to hear a click runway, allowing him to play in sync. It was the last track Moon played live in front of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the last song he always 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 Aid in 1985, Alive 8 in 2005, T4 on the Beach in 2008 and Capital FM'due south Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2022 and the radio station'due south Jingle Bell Brawl concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

In Oct 2001, The Who performed the song at The Concert for New York City to help enhance funds for the families of firemen and police officers killed during the ix/11 attacks. They finished their set with 'Won't Get Fooled Again' to a responsive and emotional audition, with close-upwardly aerial video footage of the Earth Trade Center buildings playing backside them on a huge digital screen. In February 2010, the grouping closed their set during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this vocal.[thirty] While the Who have continued to play the vocal alive, Townshend has expressed mixed feelings for it, alternating betwixt pride and embarrassment in interviews.[31] Who biographer John Atkins described the track as "the quintessential Who'due south Adjacent track but not necessarily the best."[32]

Several live and alternative versions of the song have been released on CD or DVD. In 2003, a deluxe version of Who's Side by side was reissued to include the Record Constitute recording of the track from March 1971 and a live version recorded at the Young Vic on 26 Apr 1971.[33] The song is also included on the album Alive at the Majestic Albert Hall, from a 2000 testify with Noel Gallagher guesting.

Townshend has re-arranged the song for solo performance on acoustic guitar.[34] [35] On 30 June 1979, he performed a duet of the vocal with classical guitarist John Williams for the 1979 Amnesty International benefit The Undercover Policeman's Ball.[36]

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