‘Taste the Memories’ is an album by progressive metal pioneers Dream Theater, released in 2002 by the bands official fanclub. It features a number of live tracks from two different shows in Japan, taking place in 1992 and 1993, as well as an early studio version of the bands first major epic, ‘A Change of Seasons’.

The sound quality and performances are very good, and the band are still fairly young here, meaning that, in particular, James LaBrie’s voice has yet to be ravaged by time and age. And the track list features a number of early hits, including ‘Take the Time’, ‘Under a Glass Moon’, ‘Only a Matter of Time’ and ‘To Live Forever’, as well as an interesting live jam titled ‘Moon Bubbles’.

Dream Theater have released much, much better live albums over the years though, and the only thing here that might appeal to fans is ‘Moon Bubbles’ and a weird, live jam of the ‘Mission: Impossible‘ theme. Overall, ‘Taste the Memories’ is a decent enough CD, but definitely one to leave to the die-hard collectors.
