Y’all (the audience, obviously not you in particular) must’ve done something to piss the band off. When I went to see them (and this is well attested to at other shows on their last two tours), they definitely stood around taking pictures of the audience (Tony Levin is also really into photography), with Fripp walking off last. Having said that, Fripp saw someone behind me trying to take a picture during Schizoid Man and stopped playing, shook his head, and wagged his finger until he put the camera away.
I think a lot of the audience only knew their first album; some folks left when it got heavy. As for me, Discipline is one of my favorite albums by any band - followed by Starless.
My (adult) kids really liked that Fripp screwed with us by saying no pics because the band would pose when it was over - which they did not. Ha. Fripp being Fripp.
