I don't think there is any footage of BJ playing slide and singing at the same time, unless there's something out there of when they covered the Beatles "I wanna be your Man"? It's the only song he played slide on and also sang the backing vocals to that I can think of.
That's the one I was thinking of too and I was about to rely to Pluto's post when someone rang my doorbell. I can't think of any other video that has Brian both playing slide and singing backup. He doesn't sing on LRR, of course.
There is footage of the Stones performing "I Wanna Be Your Man" but the quality is pretty bad. It would need some terrific restoration work to be usable for a project like what Pluto has in mind.

As an aside (sorry to go on a tangent here), it's hard to realize just how revolutionary this was for the time. For starters, the band members were all dressed differently whereas in those days all the bands had "uniforms". I don't think that the sight of a white boy playing slide guitar was very common on British TV in those days. And that solo was, shall we say, ahead of its time.
They all looked so young! (The sight of 21-year old Brian would make all the present-day Stones look even older than they are in comparison.) They were all yet to develop their stage personality. Mick's little dance steps are a far cry from what he does today. Keith looks like a shy boy who got lost on his way to school. You gotta love his Beatle-like head-shaking move towards the end of the song.
