the reason SHELLAC sound so "good" live is that they record their albums like albini prefers, which is to say, their recordings are full-on whole-song recordings with the entire band playing at once, minimal overdubs, minimal studio effects, so when you play AT SONIC PARK loud you are really hearing three monsters playing music, not the trickery of a studio engineer.
I HATE seeing a band live and hearing how muddy and thin and crap they sound without the studio overlays and effects and overdubs. (Interpol anyone?)
