You know the story behind how Duane met Clapton, yeah?
Yessir.
and as the poster above me said re: that Tom Dowd video, very cool stuff!
The Derek and The Dominos segment in Claptons biopic on ShowTime "Life in 12 Bars" has some awesome studio pictures and recordings that havent been released ever. Including hearing Duane talk. Highly recommend.

Say what you want, but when Boston first broke in 1976, they had a unique sound.
Dual guitar solo on "More Than a Feeling"

I agree. Still love Boston, and particularly that song, to this day.

While I agree with this, I don't think this is precisely what the OP had in mind. Boston only had 1 lead guitarist. Doubling guitar tracks in the studio isn't quite the same as the dual guitar lead (made famous by many of the bands noted in the thread, notably the NWOBHM bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden or even something like Hotel California by the Eagles.)
1 guy putting multiple layers of guitars (Jimmy Page, Tom Scholz) during production isn't the same, IMHO, as dual lead guitars.

yeah i love that too. did you know that was all one guy? he played all of the parts, minus vocals and maybe drums. the band "boston" proper was really just one musician/songwriter and one singer.
the more you know
edit: my bad, didn't see ace midnight's post

I should have been more clear when making the OP. The OP should have read: Best songs with dual harmony lead guitar solos.
I noticed you guys took it in a different direction, but I'm cool with that...have learned a lot and have heard a lot of great music.
Carry on!

Don't care if it's overplayed or whatever, but Dickey and Duane's trade-off on Blue Sky is $$$

The record company insisted on a "band" - because they were selling bands during the mid/late 1970s - they didn't want to promote "The Tom Scholz Experience" or whatever.
So, Scholz and his people would play tricks on the record company, book studio time, buy an expensive, custom made guitar, but almost all of the original demos for the Boston album (5 or 6 tracks) were recorded by Scholz (a mechanical engineer from MIT) in his home studio, minus the vocals.
Including the drums. Now, they got Sib Hashian to re-record all the drums, except Rock and Roll Band, whose drums were done by Jim Masdea, one of Scholz's collaborators at the time.
That's Scholz on basically everything on Rock and Roll Band, except vocals and drums. Scholz is the bass player you hear on the first album, except Sheehan on Foreplay and Let Me Take You Home Tonight.
Delp and Goudreau added some guitars (Delp acoustic on Let Me Take You Home Tonight, and Goudreau played lead on that song and Long Time, as well as rhythm on those tracks and Foreplay), but roughly 90% of the guitars on Boston are, obviously, Scholz.
