Following with the ableton/lsdj theme, here's an excellent article by Marc Nostromo which explains how to set up an lsdj/ableton live set by manually copying your lsdj song structure over to live (he's referencing piggytracker but it's the same idea).
It's a painstaking process in recording each chain as a clip, but the possibiliies are endless once done - i've spent this weekend doing it with a few of my newer tracks, and after some advice from covox I think my new live set is going to rock!

Actually you don't need to record all of your structure in different clip.
First go in the arrangment view and record the 4 channels separately as continuous waves there. Find the proper tempo so that your waves are properly aligned and chop the long waves into block there (ctrl+E is your friends). Then drag and drop the chopped clips between the arrangment and session view.
Presto.
Once you got all tracks recorded and aligned properly, it's like a 10mins process.
