Tons of live Buckethead free to download. The archive has a shitload of other bands as well.

Totally different sound, but I was shocked recently to se 600+ shows from Keller Williams (whom I greatly enjoy)

Didn't he play for what was left of GnR for a while?

Yes. I saw him with GnR via youttube. I think it was November Rain live. BH did the guitar solo at the end of it. No link, sorry. But you can find it.

Dude, John Petrucci is so much better and more technically proficient than buckethead it's not even a competition.

with emotion:

and shredding:

(and you'll notice, he doesn't tap that shred like buckethead taps his shreds)

and a live version (slightly unrehearsed) with both:

Does John Petrucci have anything available at archive.org or etree?

I'd love to hear some live stuff that is legally free.

Yes, I will check the youttube later when I get home.

Yeah, but he's apparently such a weird dude that even Axl Rose thinks the guy is odd.

yeah, I'd forgotten that buckethead did a stint in guns'n'roses.

He's good, but there's a ton of artists that are great guitar players that I don't enjoy listening to.

I can listen to things by satch, vai, buckethead, etc, but only in small doses.
