Never knew..

If you assumed Elton John’s “Bennie and the Jets” is a live concert recording, we wouldn’t blame you, but you would be wrong. Despite what the sounds featured throughout the track might suggest, John recorded the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road track at the same place where he recorded the rest of the album: Strawberry Studios in Château d’Hérouville, France.

Moreover, the live audience audio producer Gus Dudgeon overdubbed into the final album version wasn’t even entirely from John’s performances. Some of those cheers, claps, and whistles came from a different rock icon altogether.

“Bennie and the Jets” features audio from Jimi Hendrix’s iconic Isle of Wight festival performance in 1970. His August 31 appearance at the tumultuous, multi-day event would be Hendrix’s last major performance in England before his death on September 18.

If you listened to 100.5FM back when it was Z100 in the 1990s you might remember Wild Bill Pressly playing bits from Roy D Mercer. The voice behind Roy and his prank phone calls was Brent Douglas from KMOD in Tulsa, OK. Brent passed away Saturday in Oklahoma.
