This full-length DVD spans the band’s first 10 years ... and then some. Hop in the van with an "all-access" pass to join the band on tour—backstage and on stage. Relax in the studio control room and view original recording session footage. Enjoy new live footage filmed for the DVD of The Great Crusades performing in Chicago, featuring some of the guest musicians who played on the studio albums. Finally, visit the band’s favorite Chicago haunts to have a few drinks, share a few stories and try to remember everything that went down. You will also see Hunt, Krumm, and Moder at age 13 rockin’ in their first band and gaze upon the oddity of Leach eating potato chips while fully asleep.
This is a tour-only release and will be available through the Glitterhouse catalog following our upcoming Summer Germany Tour. Currently this is a PAL video format release only. A wider release is in the works for the near future.

The Great Crusades in
Rolling Stone Rolling Stone put together a feature on some of the bands appearing at Glitterhouse Records’ Orange Blossom Special in Beverungen, Germany on May 9-11, 2008.
They asked each band to submit a list of its Top 10 songs and Top 10 albums, but we got a little creative with the assignment.
