You’re right, chCinema, The Empire Theater was open in 1980 and 1984. (Or perhaps they just gave the band permission to use it.) I lived in Richmond during those years and the band, Single Bullet Theory, filmed the video for the their song, “Hang On To Your Heart”. I was there for the filming (as were several other ‘extras’ for their audience. Although the song was never released, there is a video of it, showing the inside of the theater (even though I could find no official info saying it was filed there—I know it was. LOL!)
