"Won't Go Fooled Over again" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. Information technology was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top ten in the UK, while the total eight-and-a-one-half-infinitesimal version appears as the concluding track on the ring'south 1971 album Who'southward Next, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the song as a endmost number of the Lifehouse project, and the lyrics criticise revolution and power. To symbolise the spiritual connectedness he had institute 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 principal bankroll musical instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the vocal in New York in March 1971, but re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend'due south original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a projection was abandoned in favour of Who'southward Next, a straightforward anthology, where it also became the endmost rails. It has been performed every bit a staple of the ring's setlist since 1971, frequently every bit the ready closer, and was the last song drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

Every bit well as being a hit, the song has achieved 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. 1 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several Television set shows and films (about notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Groundwork [edit]

The song was originally intended for a stone 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.[3] The vocal was written for the end of the opera, after the chief graphic symbol, Bobby, is killed and the "universal chord" is sounded. The main characters disappear, leaving behind the government and army, who are left to bully each other.[4] Townshend described the song as one "that screams defiance at those who feel any cause is better 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, calculation, "Don't expect to see what you lot expect to run across. Expect naught and yous might gain everything."[half dozen] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that actually mattered to him, and saying them for the commencement 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 let him to communicate these ideas to a mass audience.[viii] He had met the BBC Radiophonic Workshop which gave him ideas for capturing human being personality inside music. Townshend interviewed several people with general practitioner-style questions, and captured their heartbeat, brainwaves and astrological charts, converting the result into a series of sound pulses. For the demo of "Won't Get Fooled Once more", he linked a Lowrey organ into an European monetary system VCS 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[8] He later upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did not play any sounds direct as it was monophonic; instead information technology modified the block chords on the organ every bit an input signal.[x] The demo, recorded at a slower tempo than the version by the Who, was completed by Townshend overdubbing drums, bass, electric guitar, vocals and handclaps.[xi]

Recording [edit]

The Who'southward kickoff attempt to record the vocal 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 done by Felix Pappalardi. This accept featured Pappalardi's Mount bandmate, Leslie Westward, on lead guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to be unable to mix the track, and a fresh endeavor at recording was made at the start of Apr 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 runway from Townshend's original demo, as the re-recording of the role 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 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 end result sounded and then good to the ring and Johns, they decided to use it equally the final take.[14] Overdubs, including an audio-visual guitar function played by Townshend, were recorded at Olympic Studios at the stop of April.[13] [14] The track was mixed at Island Studios by Johns on 28 May.[thirteen] Subsequently Lifehouse was abandoned as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", forth with other songs, were and so adept that they could just exist released as a standalone single album, which became Who's Side by side.[xvi] This song is written in the key of A Mixolydian.[17]

"Won't Get Fooled Again" was start released in the United kingdom as a single A-side on 25 June 1971, edited downward to 3:35. It replaced "Behind Blueish Eyes", which the group felt did not fit the Who'due south established musical manner, as the selection of single. 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 single reached No. 9 in the Great britain charts and No. 15 in the US. Initial publicity material showed an abandoned cover of Who'southward Next featuring Moon dressed in drag and brandishing a whip.[18]

The full-length version of the song appeared as the closing track of Who's Next, released in Baronial in the US and 27 August in the UK, where information technology topped the album charts.[nineteen] "Won't Go Fooled Once again" drew strong praise from critics, who were impressed that a synthesizer had managed to be integrated so successfully within a rock vocal.[xx] Who writer Dave Marsh described singer Roger Daltrey's scream nearly the finish of the runway 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'southward trademark instrumental and vocal strength" and that "revolutionary lyric matched by the grouping's performance fervor make this a monster on its style."[22] In 2021, the vocal was ranked number 295 on Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[23] As of March 2018 it was certified Silverish for 200,000 sold copies in the Britain.[24]

The grouping performed live over the synthesizer function being played on a backing record, which required Moon to clothing 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 Oct 1976[27] and the concluding vocal he always played with the Who at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978, which was captured on the documentary flick The Kids Are Alright.[28] The song was part of the Who's prepare at Alive Aid in 1985, Live 8 in 2005, T4 on the Embankment in 2008 and Uppercase FM's Summertime Ball concert in 2009, 2010 and 2015 and the radio station'southward Jingle Bell Ball concerts in 2009 and 2015.[29]

They finished their ready with "Won't Get Fooled Again" to a responsive and emotional audience, with close-up aeriform video footage of the World Trade Center buildings playing backside them on a huge digital screen. In Feb 2010, the group airtight their ready during the halftime show of Super Bowl XLIV with this vocal.[30] While the Who take 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 rail as "the quintessential Who's Next track only not necessarily the best."[32]
