The Crusaders: New Victoria, London
Vivien Goldman, Sounds, 17 July 1976
THE CRUSADERS simply blew London away with their third gig at the New Victoria. Later conversations with the band proved that they also regarded it as one of those magic concerts where everybody's minds and souls are tuned to the same pulse and heart-beats; the end result is unadulterated music.
