Best guitar and bass unison riffs

I was reading through and just getting ready to post Circumstances! What a bad ass riff!
Ooh, I just remembered another fave:
In Bill Bruford's "Sample And Hold" (from his 1977 debut album Feels Good To Me) there's a guitar/bass unison passage after the bridge, just before the recap of the head, where Allan Holdsworth and Jeff Berlin play this ridiculous knuckle-busting non-stop 16th-note-riff that oozes and squirms all over the map in a very serpentine fashion for ~8 bars, just total dense-pack chromatic mayhem...and then reveals itself to be a counterpoint line to the equally circuitous melody once the mallets & keyboards re-enter. Exquisite!
