- "Won't Get Fooled Again" is a song by the English rock band The Who, written by Pete Townshend. It was released as a single in June 1971, reaching the top 10 in the UK, while the full eight-and-a-half-minute version appears as the final track 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 human traits into a synthesizer and used it as the main backing instrument throughout the song. The Who tried recording the song in New York in March 1971, but 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's Next, a straightforward album, where it also became the closing track. The song has been performed as a staple of the band's setlist since 1971, often as the set closer, and was the last track drummer Keith Moon played live with the band.
As well as a hit, the song has achieved critical praise, appearing as one 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 Album Rock Tracks chart. It has been used for several TV shows and films, and in some political campaigns.
The Who are an English rock band that formed in 1964. Their classic line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, selling over 100 million records worldwide and holding a reputation for their live shows and studio work.
The Who developed from an earlier group, the Detours, and established themselves as part of the pop art and mod movements, featuring auto-destructive art by destroying guitars and drums on stage. Their first single as the Who, "I Can't Explain", reached the UK top ten, followed by a string of singles including "My Generation", "Substitute" and "Happy Jack". In 1967, they performed at the Monterey Pop Festival and released the US top ten single "I Can See for Miles", while touring extensively. The group's fourth album, 1969's rock opera Tommy, included the single "Pinball Wizard" and was a critical and commercial success. Live appearances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival, along with the live album Live at Leeds, cemented their reputation as a respected rock act. With their success came increased pressure on lead songwriter and visionary Townshend, and the follow-up to Tommy, Lifehouse, was abandoned. Songs from the project made up 1971's Who's Next, which included the hit "Won't Get Fooled Again". The group released the album Quadrophenia in 1973 as a celebration of their mod roots, and oversaw the film adaptation of Tommy in 1975. They continued to tour to large audiences before semi-retiring from live performances at the end of 1976. The release of Who Are You in 1978 was overshadowed by the death of Moon shortly after.
Kenney Jones replaced Moon and the group resumed activity, releasing a film adaptation of Quadrophenia and the retrospective documentary The Kids Are Alright. After Townshend became weary of touring, the group split in 1982. The Who occasionally re-formed for live appearances such as Live Aid in 1985, a 25th anniversary tour in 1989 and a tour of Quadrophenia in 1996. They resumed regular touring in 1999, with drummer Zak Starkey. After Entwistle's death in 2002, plans for a new album were delayed. Townshend and Daltrey continued as the Who, releasing Endless Wire in 2006, and continued to play live regularly.
The Who's major contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall stack, large PA systems, use of the synthesizer, Entwistle and Moon's lead playing styles, Townshend's feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influence by hard rock, punk rock and mod bands, and their songs still receive regular exposure.
Ringo's kid is a very good drummer.
Mooney's God Son as well
legendery group, fantastic live act.
1965-2015 even without Keith Moon and the greatest bass player ever in John Entwhistle they can not be touched.
I freakin' love Zac Starkey! I don't think the band could have chosen a better drummer for the job.
Amen to that
Keith Moon = greatest DRUMMER on EARTH.1🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸
2x THE WHO LIVE IN FRANKFURT.
GREAT CONCERTS ..
J' ai adoré quand l' album Who's next est sorti et j' adore toujours... quel titre !! bravos à tous ces musiciens talentueux même si Keith Moon et John E manquent et encore bravo à Pete T pour toutes ses compositions géniales.
There's 2 things I love here. The Who & Wolves!
I love The Who so much
I have to say this is the best mix and sound quality of their recent versions of this song.
Happy Birthday Zak Starkey born on September 13, 1965. He is an English rock drummer who has performed and recorded with English rock band the Who since 1996. He is also the third drummer to have appeared with English rock band Oasis. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zak_Starkey
Unique ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Epic
Hope there were lots rock n rollers witnessing this and not just kids who hardly knew WHO they were. But I assume knowing the Who's headlining Glastonbury that night brought people together.
Fabu lous😮😊
I hope the young crowd cheering at 6.40 don’t think that’s the end of the song….it’s just getting going and about to blow you away!
Can you imagine if Keith and John were here playing.
I dont usually like live vudeis.
But this video is perfect!!!
😇🧿
Pete and Roget can still belt out the tunes😎👍😎
Lip synching
Pete roger et zak super bonne continuation messieurs
Zak is the best drummer they ever had!
@Bob Quickenden Zak decimates his pop and Mooney!
Did Roger made a mistake on 2:03? I believe he came to early into the verse. Great work from Pino palladino filling in the shoes of the late J.E. (tough job)
The Who, goes without saying but they are lucky to have Zac Ztarkey! I hope they are paying him well.
Roger best vocalist ever
Shame he has to mime now! 🙄
Daltrey is godlike.....
Dalty as in Roger. The greatest Rock Star male with Tina Turner.
Was this the last time they performed the fast/rock version of "Won't Get Fooled Again"? Now they only do the slow/acoustic version, which isn't as good IMO.
@2v_5r84 that's good to know!
mmm... 07:46
Is your ‘Mmm’, because the microphone was nowhere near his mouth and even being held out and pointed toward the audience when that strangely perfectly audible scream happened. Because if it was I completely concur with you.
Roger has said he can't make the scream no more. But the rest of the performance is him. Apart from that scream
That scream at 7:50 from Roger sounds like he's just escaped a thousand-year torment from the furtherest depths of hell!
It's a recording of his younger self. In fact, the recording even begins playing before he gets the microphone in position, making it abundantly clear he isn't doing the scream live.
@@Kpengie100% correct he's lip syncing it for years
7:47 Roger's scream 😳🤪 always getting goosebumps ❤ LOVE 🥰
😂He lip syncing it has dorm for years
Miming! 🙄
The who ... who else
lip syncing the scream as usual
