This performance is from his concert at the Hammersmith Odeon, London on 24th December 1974, filmed for the BBC TV show The Old Grey Whistle Test.
The source video I used to create this one is here: mega.nz/file/j...
That was the best-quality upload featuring this performance I could find online. I have faded the clip in from black at the beginning and faded it out to black at the end. I have also raised the volume level to make it twice as loud, so that it matches the volume level of the majority of music videos. I have also cropped the edges of the video picture, just enough to clean them up. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics.
This song was written by Elton John (music) and Bernie Taupin (lyrics). The original studio version was produced by Gus Dudgeon, and was released in 1973. It was first released as a track on the album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", and then in 1974 was released as a single. According to Wikipedia, that single went to No. 1 in the USA and in Canada, and reached No. 5 in Australia, No. 13 in New Zealand, No. 18 in Ireland, No. 37 in his native UK, and No. 175 in France, and did not chart in Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands or Switzerland. No other territories are mentioned.

LYRICS
"Bennie And The Jets" - Live in London, 1974
- Elton John
(Words Bernie Taupin, Music by Elton John)
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hittin' something that's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around
You're gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound
Oh, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen 'em yet?
Oh, but they're so spaced out
B-B-B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh, but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh, Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded, but Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets to find who's right and who's wrong
Oh, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen 'em yet?
Oh, but they're so spaced out
B-B-B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh, they're so weird and they're wonderful
Oh, Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Oh
B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Whoa
Oh
[Break]
Oh, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen 'em yet?
Oh, but they're so spaced out
B-B-B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh, they're so weird and they're wonderful
Oh, Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots, a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Oh
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie
Oh, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie
Oh, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie, Bennie, Bennie
Oh, Bennie and the Jets
[Break]
Bennie (Bennie), Bennie (Bennie), Bennie (Bennie)
Oh, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie (Bennie), Bennie (Bennie), Bennie (Bennie)
Oh, Bennie and the Jets
Bennie (Bennie), Bennie (Bennie), Bennie (Bennie)
