BOSTON — Concert-goers, and even Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart, were caught off-guard when a fight broke out on opening night at usually sedate Symphony Hall.
Television video of the fight Wednesday night showed two men struggling in the balcony — one with his shirt pulled off — as several people stood around them.
Lockhart briefly halted the performance, which featured singer-songwriter Ben Folds, while the men were escorted out.
Boston police spokesman David Estrada said police officers on security detail at the hall escorted the men off the property, and no charges were filed... A Boston Symphony spokeswoman did not immediately return a call for comment.

Oh. I thought perhaps it was two opera queens having a catfight over the memory of Maria Callas.

This was a different crowd then the one who usually attends. You know, when I saw the headline I clicked on the thread thinking "This one has a simple explanation". So far I haven't gotten it. Part of my problem, I guess, is I have no idea who or what "Ben Folds" is. Your reply seems to be getting warm. Care to elaborate?

He's a fairly talented piano playing singer-songwriter. It's just more 'pops' then usual.

From the
AP story:
The fight started after one of the men tapped the other on the shoulder with a program to complain about noise, police said.
Why wasn't the noisemaker hauled off in chains?
