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.

What about assault and battery -- or disturbing the peace?
I guess arrests are only for little people... bar brawls and domestic disputes. When VIPs are involved, nothing happens.

Must have been the Battle Of Who Could Care Less. :)

Keith Lockhart should have thought on his feet and segued into the theme from Rocky.

If this kind of stuff is happening at a Boston Pops concert of all places, you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s going to be a long hot summer.

Looks like the impressionists and the atonalists are at it again.

Maybe the guy got the sh*t beat out of him for snoring and waking the other patrons.

All the circumstantial evidence points to a homo-cat-fight, IMHO.

Those mosh pits at Boston Pops concerts can get quite out of hand sometimes.
