Overview: Since the 1960s, generations of fans have adopted outdoor festivals as the ideal place to experience live musical performances. But in recent years, the best American music festivals have moved on board specially chartered cruise ships sailing from the U.S. to the Caribbean, Mexico, and elsewhere.

One of the first and most successful of these, Roger Naber's Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, is now considered the true Woodstock of the Waves, offering, as it does, the finest in traditional and contemporary music along with the same sense of peace, love and community spirit most often associated with late '60s rock festivals.

Blu ray Verdict: For those not in the know, Roger Naber's Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise to the Caribbean in January 2007, featured more than 70 performances along with 14 special guests! A "Woodstock of the Waves," it offered the same sense of peace, love, and community spirit most often associated with late '60s rock festivals. The cruise also featured daylong stops on St. John, St. Barths, and Grand Turk, with additional concerts and a "blues wedding" on the beach.
