Live CBGB's NYC 1998 is a live album by the German digital hardcore pioneer Alec Empire and the Japanese noise artist Merzbow. It was recorded on November 4, 1998, at the Digital Hardcore Festival at CBGB's in New York City and was released by Digital Hardcore Recordings in 2003.

Another recording from the Digital Hardcore Festival in a CDr released by DHR in 2004 named Live at CBGB's New York City 4-11-98. The disc contains a DJ set by Empire, with live vocals by Hanin Elias with MC Beans and Priest from Antipop Consortium. At the conclusion of the set, Elias can be heard announcing the imminent appearance of Merzbow.

Empire and Merzbow went on to collaborate on other projects. Merzbow played drums in Empire's live band set at the 2001 Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. Empire was one of the many remix artists involved in Merzbow's Ikebana: Merzbow's Amlux Rebuilt, Reused and Recycled.
