Why did The Who shout out a number before starting every live version of Tommy?!
Question: In every album where The Who plays Tommy live, they always shout a number right before going into the Overture (first song). My guess is that its the number performance that they are up to. Any ideas?

To help keep track of bootlegs.They'd decide on a number and shout it out before they played the songs so they could control bootlegs.
they were probably just hoping they "wont get fooled again"
