"Won't Get Fooled Once more" is a song by the English rock band the Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released equally a unmarried in June 1971, reaching the superlative 10 in the United kingdom, while the full 8-and-a-one-half-minute version appears as the final track on the band'south 1971 album Who's Next, released that Baronial.

Townshend wrote the song as a closing number of the Lifehouse projection, and the lyrics criticise revolution and ability. To symbolise the spiritual connection he had establish 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 backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, simply re-recorded a superior take at Stargroves the next month using the synthesizer from Townshend's original demo. Ultimately, Lifehouse as a project was abased in favour of Who's Side by side, a straightforward album, where it likewise became the closing track. It has been performed as a staple of the band'southward setlist since 1971, often as the ready closer, and was the last vocal drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.

As well as being a hit, the song has accomplished critical praise, appearing as one of Rolling Stone 's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered past several artists, such as Van Halen, who took their version to No. one on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films (most notably CSI: Miami), and in some political campaigns.

Groundwork [edit]

The vocal 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 ring and audience.[three] The vocal was written for the terminate of the opera, subsequently 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 dandy each other.[4] Townshend described the song as 1 "that screams defiance at those who experience whatsoever crusade is better than no cause".[five] He after said that the vocal was not strictly anti-revolution despite the lyric "We'll exist fighting in the streets", but stressed that revolution could be unpredictable, adding, "Don't look to see what yous expect to see. Expect zip and you might proceeds everything."[half dozen] Bassist John Entwistle later said that the song showed Townshend "saying things that really mattered to him, and saying them for the showtime 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.[eight] 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 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 3 filter that played back the pulse-coded modulations from his experiments.[eight] He afterwards upgraded to an ARP 2500.[9] The synthesizer did not play whatever sounds directly as information technology was monophonic; instead it modified the block chords on the organ as an input betoken.[ten] 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.[11]

Recording [edit]

The Who's start effort 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 grouping, which led to his producer credit, though the de facto work was done past Felix Pappalardi. This take featured Pappalardi's Mountain bandmate, Leslie W, on pb guitar.[12]

Lambert proved to exist unable to mix the rails, and a fresh attempt at recording was fabricated at the start of Apr at Mick Jagger'due south firm, Stargroves, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio.[xiii] Glyn Johns was invited to assist with production, 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 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.[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 equally a demo recording, the end result sounded so good to the band and Johns, they decided to use it every bit the final accept.[14] Overdubs, including an acoustic guitar role 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 abased as a project, Johns felt "Won't Get Fooled Again", forth with other songs, were then good that they could just be released as a standalone single album, which became Who'southward Next.[xvi] This vocal is written in the cardinal of A Mixolydian.[17]

The group performed live over the synthesizer function beingness played on a backing tape, which required Moon to wearable headphones to hear a click track, allowing him to play in sync. It was the last rail Moon played live in front end of a paying audience on 21 October 1976[27] and the concluding 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 vocal was part of the Who'southward set at Live Aid in 1985, Live 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 Feb 2010, the group closed their set during the halftime show of Super Basin XLIV with this vocal.[thirty] 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 track as "the quintessential Who's Adjacent track just non necessarily the all-time."[32]
