Livequake is the first live album by the progressive Italian band Eldritch, recorded at Music Street Club in Pisa.

Metal Hammer Germany wrote that the song selection was a good testament to the band's development and "metamorphosis" over the years. The sound was good too, putting "many a major production to shame in terms of crisp sound and authentically captured atmosphere". Even the bonus material on the DVD was worth watching.[1] Wrote Vampster, the entire set consisted of "a tight, consistently high-quality performance from beginning to end". At the same time, it lacked "any truly exceptional moments" and contained little new for listeners familiar with the band.[2]

Powermetal.de thought the recording showed a band in "top form", playing "with great energy". However, the audience reactions did not become noticeable until disc 2.[3] Metal Temple detracted for the frontman "way too often" calling the audience by "the term 'motherfuckers'".[4]
