<Dd> She's got electric boots, a mohair suit </Dd> <Dd> You know I read it in a magazine Ohh...</Dd> <P> Produced by Gus Dudgeon, the song was recorded during the "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" sessions in France at Château d'Hérouville's Strawberry Studios, where John and Taupin had recorded their previous two albums, Honky Château and Don't Shoot Me I'm Only the Piano Player . </P> <P> After recording the song in the studio, John and the band worried that it was too plain and unoriginal . In the Eagle Vision documentary on the making of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, John recalled, "I fought tooth and nail against' Bennie' coming out as a single ." According to guitarist Davey Johnstone, "' Bennie and the Jets' was one of the oddest songs we ever recorded . We just sat back and said,' This is really odd ."' While mixing the album, Dudgeon came up with the idea of creating a "live from Playhouse Theatre" sound for the track . He added reverb effects, applause and other audience sounds from John's previous concerts and a loop from the Jimi Hendrix live album Isle of Wight, plus whistles, giving it the "live concert recording" feel that has since become a sort of trademark . </P>

Is there a non live version of bennie and the jets
