Who plays keyboards on the 1971 song ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ by The Who?

Pete Townshend played the synthesiser part on The Who’s 1971 song ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’. The keyboard line runs through the track and helps give it its distinctive, floating sound, showing how the band expanded its four-piece lineup in the studio.

Although John Entwistle had more formal musical training, his background was in trumpet and French horn, while Townshend often handled extra keyboard, synthesiser and organ parts. He also played guitar on the song, including acoustic strumming, electric chords and solos. The article presents Townshend’s synth playing as a memorable part of the track’s sound.
