I was actually in this same position a few months ago - tracking a punk band live who'd never played to a click before (so that was out of the question). We ended up just doing a bunch of takes and finally getting a usable one - it just took time. After every take, I'd head into the live room, tell the band what I thought, make a few pointers, and do it over again. Kind of a good ol' fashioned solution, but it worked.

Also, FYI, I used Drumagog on just the kick, as I was able to get an actually impressive snare sound with reverb, Pultec EQ, and a gate.
