Livegasm! is the third live album by the Danish power rock band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, released on 29 November 2017 in Japan, and on 8 December 2017 in Denmark on double vinyl and as digital album on Columbia Records. It instantly became the best sold vinyl record in Denmark in 2017.

The songs are a compilation of recordings from three festival shows by the band in the summer of 2016, with the tracks predominantly originating from their show at the Roskilde Festival in Roskilde (Denmark). Additional tracks were recorded at Tinderbox in Odense, Denmark and Målrock in Årdal, Norway. It includes songs that have not been recorded live before.

The album title is derived from the song Mindgasm on the band's 2016 album Forward in Reverse.

GAFFA

Thomas Treo of Ekstra Bladet says that "the rock band's newfound format is firmly cemented with the concert recording Livegasm!", which "appears to sounds almost unreal" and on which the new songs impress the most.

Jan Opstrup Poulsen of Danish music magazine GAFFA calls Livegasm! "an excellent documentation of a band that has regained energy and can also play on new strings", on which "it is a bit unexpected that the new songs are the strongest", but "that the audience's singing along and cheering is fully mixed into the soundtrack somewhat ruins the pleasure".
