Ive been looking ang looking, but i CANNOT find a video of any of the temot's perfomances from 1961-1963. Doesnt anyone know wher I can find one. I have yet to see a video of Elbrige bryant perform. Even a picture would do!!
"Why do you live?" "Because i have something worth living for"
I take it you've tried youtube. Funny, because I can't find the entire performance of Runaway Child Runnin' Wild. They skip the last verse in every video I find.

I did sixty in five minutes once...
I don't think any live performance with Al exist. I've seen a picture of Al with the Tempts onstage, in Otis's book.
As for the 1961-63 era:

Here they are singing background for Mary Wells. Al was gone at this point.
The only footage that would exist of Al Bryant performing with the Tempts would be filmed performances of the early Temptations' performances at the Apollo in 1962. This footage exists in the Motown vaults, but has never been released.
The Temptations never went on television until "The Way You Do the Things You Do" became a hit in 1964. By that time, of course, Bryant was out and David Ruffin was in.
If you search "Elbridge Bryant" on Google Images, the first result is a picture of Bryant with the Tempts:

He's standing to the left, with Otis standing to the right, Eddie crouched down at left, Paul crouched down at right ,and Melvin seated in the middle.
