In light of the September 11 attacks, the original music video for "Wish You Were Here" was deemed inappropriate by MTV. In the video the band is chased off a bridge by screaming women, army people, cops, clowns and photographers. The only place to go is to leap off this bridge, and it shows the band descending and smacking into the water.

Phil Harder, director of the clip, had to make a second clip to find some substantial airplay on the channel. The original "bridge jump" version would eventually air much later.
