Really nice effort. Thanks for sharing the video with us.
Another cover band (The Irons, from France) played the song live a few years ago albeit without an orchestra:

In my humble opinion, the accent of the Children of the Beast singer is the only thing that is not spot on.

Wow, this sounds amazing. Probably the best Maiden cover I have ever heard!

I have seen them like 10 times or so, and I can assure you they are amazing. Also, they are big fans of the band, just like us.

Maiden has enough material for a full symphonic concert.
This is my dream setlist with a full orchestra and chorus:
"Symphonic Beast"
1) The ides of March (orchestra only w/ Nicko)
2) Phantom of the Opera
3) Seventh son of a seventh son (+ chorus)
4) Sign of the cross (+ chorus)
5) Blood Brothers
6) Dance of death
7) The clansman (+ bagpipes)
8) Paschendale
9) Alexander the great
10) Mother Russia (+ chorus)
11) Journeyman
12) Rime of the ancient mariner
13) Empire of the clouds
Encore
14) Hallowed be thy name (+ bell)
15) Fear of the dark

Maiden United performed it as well.
That would be so incredible! And since it would be longer than their usual set because most of the songs are on the long side, they could tour only stadiums and do a limited number of shows.

Really good cover--musically, they totally pulled it off. Definitely one of the stronger tribute singers I've heard, who mimics a lot of the inflections Bruce used in the song. The only downside is that the orchestration isn't terribly prominent in the mix (or maybe I didn't listen to it at a high enough volume), so it didn't sound too different from the recorded version. There was the little flourish they did at the end and a cymbal crash or two that popped somewhat, but otherwise, not too different.
