    Can you dance like this

    in Letting off Steam

    Posted

    Pat I think Ian Curtis may have created those moves on stage to help him cope with his epilepsy. As for Andy McCluskey I think it might be his mechanism for coping with nerves before a live audience. The boys in Tears for Fears were known to throw some odd shapes in their early years on stage. I saw Simple Minds in 1983 and Jim Kerr moved like a dog that couldn't decide which tree to p**s on. If I had to make a choice for who moves the most on stage at shows I have been to I would say that Flea and Keith Flint would be hard to beat.

     

    Rory Gallagher, now that mans hands were all he needed to move. Watched him on Sky Arts last night, what a genius.

     

    Rich,

     

     

     

    Have to say it was hard to beat Mick Jagger back in the day

    Every dance you went to had a "Satisfaction" set where we all threw our STONES shapes

    Embarrassed just to be talking about it

     

    Rory Gallagher, thats another story. if check shirts could dance!

    Different market

    The 201's were bought at a time when they were the only rtr Irish Diesel loco available and the prospect of any further ones being produced was not known

    Nobody is arguing about the quality of the 141/181's, they are bulletproof.

    These locos are still available from some retailers but when the 201's were making big money they were out of production for up to 8 years

    Best price I recorded was £510 stg for a River Boyne in Jan of O9, and River Boyne had the biggest production of the range with 500 made.

    They were produced in O3 and were still in some shops in O6, its really hard to fathom why it went for such big money.

    In Sept of O9 an NIR 208 made £87.25 stg, but if I remember correctly the seller had a UK only tag on his listing so it excluded probably his biggest market

    Anyway best of luck to Michel, plenty of people still out there looking for some elusive numbers to fill their collections.

    Todays item is set # L149801-2

     

    If I had been able to supply the amount of these sets I had been asked for I would be a wealthy man.

    Again this set was produced in 1998 and only 300 sets made
