MIDI file is triggering keyboard and grand staff notes
This is a transcription of a wonderful performance that has been one of my favorites for a long time. Burn Down The Mission has been one of Elton's most popular live songs since the 70's. With the help of this video you can figure out how he plays this himself much quicker than usual. If you really want to take the learning of this song seriously you can also download the MIDI file and take your playing to the next level.

Due to copyright infringement issues and video blocking I am unable to create RUclips videos for many of the suggestions that I receive in the comments section. I do, however, create videos and MIDI files just like on my channel for clients who would like a specific piano part transcribed for any video or audio file!

Love the look on Elton's face at 5:50 - he knows how badass this sounds. Great work with the transcription!
Thank you for this transcript! I've always wanted to see what Elton played when he improvised and it's amazing. Thank you, kind sir!
Thanks so much, even if you don't play piano it is pretty interesting to watch.
Just the lyrics to train to sing too 😁
Burn Down The Mission
You tell me there's an angel in your tree
Did he say he'd come to call on me
For things are getting desperate in our home
Living in the parish of the restless folks I know
Everybody now bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Deep in the woods the squirrels are out today
My wife cried when they came to take me away
But what more could I do just to keep her warm
Than burn burn burn burn down the mission walls
Now everybody bring your family down to the riverside
Look to the east to see where the fat stock hide
Behind four walls of stone the rich man sleeps
It's time we put the flame torch to their keep
Burn down the mission
If we're gonna stay alive
Watch the black smoke fly to heaven
See the red flame light the sky
Burn down the mission
Burn it down to stay alive
It's our only chance of living
Take all you need to live inside
Thank you
OMG I love this channel so much.
Thank you Sir, You are doing fantastic job. God bless You
Thanks so much! There will be much more to come very soon.
Thank you so much
You are the best thanks so much
Thanks for the support!
Wow! Thank you!! This was such a good performance. If the spirit ever moved you, it would be awesome if you could do “Have Mercy on the Criminal.” I always love the breakdown for that, because it sounds almost classical and it complements Davey’s guitar so well. He gave an excellent performance in Berlin 2017
Iggy P you are right that is such a great song. It has so much heart and soul in it, I will definitely put it int the queue for future videos. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.
@@chrisbarkerpiano Yes this would be amazing
..THANK YOU .
You're so welcome, glad it is helpful.
Your work is incredible? How can you do that, have you got absolute pitch?
Thanks for everything you do, your channel is amazing
Thanks so much for your kind words, I love that people like you are able to find these transcriptions helpful. I do not have perfect, absolute, or relative pitch :-) I do have a fairly good ear but most of it is really paying attention to detail and not settling for okay work. Keep watching for more!
thanks for this i was wondering if u could look at eltons 17 11 70 version of this since it is such and amazing performance and i would love to learn the improv parts
This definitely was a great performance, I will definitely consider it for a future video. Thanks for watching and for your encouragement.
@@chrisbarkerpiano thnx
Two issues: On the chorus, when he sings, "Burn Down the Mission," Elton plays the Db chord, but with an Ab in the bass, (i.e., 2nd inversion). Also, when he modulates up a whole step, with Elton playing the Eb chord, he plays a Bb in the bass, (2nd inversion). The transcription should reflect this. :)
Thanks Matthew, I will check the MIDI file and fix it if necessary. Unfortunately the video won't reflect the changes.
@@chrisbarkerpiano Rock n roll!! :)
What kind of concert?
Could you do one for Razor Face by Elton??
That's actually a great suggestion, I have always loved that piano intro especially.
Great transcription! How do I download the transcription?
Thanks so much, the download link is now in the description...I forgot to link it 😁
Chris Barker Piano brilliant! Always look forward to your videos ! Stay safe
could you do "I'm Still Standing" based off of the Ephesus performance with the sheet music?
I'll take a look at it and see, sheet music is another subject. I have had a hard time justifying the time to make that happen but hopefully in the future if enough people are wanting print music I can provide it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Yes please do Mission from the Ephesus show!
Hello! If you're still looking, Aldy did a tutorial for the Ephesus's version of Im Still Standing ruclips.net/video/iLro9h6iEqI/видео.html
Could you possibly do the solo for Bennie and the jets from this show ruclips.net/video/umVs_tn8F2Y/видео.html the song starts at 19:45
I will check it out for sure, I haven't tackled this song yet and this might be a good one to take on. Thank you for the suggestion!
