Courage & Patience & Grit

Courage & Patience & Grit is a DVD/CD set released by the band Great Big Sea on November 14, 2006. It contains video of the live performance from a concert at the Empire Theatre in Belleville, Ontario along with music videos for the songs "Captain Kidd", "When I Am King", "Lukey", and "Shines Right Through Me". The live performance was recorded during their The Hard and the Easy tour.

The name of the album comes from a line in the song "Tickle Cove Pond" ("It's only by courage and patience and grit"), a song on The Hard and the Easy, which provides the name for that album but which does not appear on this DVD.
