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. 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.
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. Metal Temple detracted for the frontman "way too often" calling the audience by "the term 'motherfuckers'".
