Where was Dance Graphics located, does anyone remember? I have been unable to find any record of where it was. Thanks.
I was at this show! I had just moved to SC from Reno and was working with Bedlam Hour. I always took the guys to a vegetarian restaurant when they came to town which was nice. Chuck Walker worked at Dance Graphics and got the venue! Freaking AMAZING show!
Doesn't Chuck Walker have a copy on tape of this somewhere?
I was at this show and it is and always be one of the most memorable shows of my life. There were less than 50 people there, the band was on the floor at the same level as the peolpe that were there to see them play. Mindblowing.
This show is LEDGEND here in South Carolina. Chuck Walker, Dance Graphics, too bad I was 17 and barely able to get into the Milestone. Wish this was recorded!

Yes! Such a great night! Ian had called looking for a show in South Carolina, and my wonderful boss Rick Baty let us use Dance Graphics for the venue. Rick Baty was a leading light in the Columbia creative community. Dance Graphics was a center for advertising, design, dance, tai chi, yoga, and music. As a young designer and editor, I learned a great deal from Rick about creativity and about living a great life. I remember the guys opened up with a new composition: “Reclamation.” Ian and Guy’s guitar tone was sonorous and melodic. He recommended I switch from my Crate solid state head to a tube amp. Years later, Ian told me this was one of his favorite shows. Angie is right: we always got some great food when the boys came to town. They are also the best band houseguests one could ask for. - Chuck Walker, 2023.
