I've always wondered this, but I never really pursued the answer. In the "Owner" video Tony Kaye was absent. But when they show the rooftop and Yes surrounds the hunted man, facing away from the camera is a long-haired blonde. He sort of looks like Geoff Downes from the back, but I know it can't be him. Was it ever revealed who this guy was?

That's Eddie Jobson. In 1983, Tony Kaye left Yes and Eddie Jobson joined as his replacement. When Tony Kaye came back, Jobson was unhappy with the suggestion for the band to continue with both of them and soon left. He played with the band only a few times, and never recorded with them.

He's also in the very beginning of the video.

Thank you, Cynthia. I knew some replaced Tony Kaye for a short time, but I never knew it was Jobson. But why did Kaye leave in the first place?
