Floyd goes distance for new video (watch)

Pink Floyd was notorious for  going to great lengths to get album covers and stage productions just right and while the group is no longer together and will probably never be again, they cut no corners to make sure the first video for the last album measured up to those same tough standards. Most of the footage was captured in the extremely remote and rugged areas between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan by Po Powell, who said the trip to the location took nearly 20 hours.  The weather was demanding as well, subjecting Powell to high winds, frigid temps and bouts of snow.  Talking with Rolling Stone  about the challenge, Powell said, '...the sun  shoone for a few hours each day, and we filmed as though our lives depended on it.'
