In August 2014, Van Morrison returned to perform three shows as a fond farewell to his alma mater as it prepared to close its doors for the final time. Live at Orangefield is a specially curated album, of recordings from these very shows.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen it first opened in 1957 Orangefield was a boys' school, then the girls' school was added before both schools merged and remained so until Orangefield was finally closed due to falling numbers of pupils in 2014. Three years later it was demolished. For roughly sixty years both schools had provided an educational and social focus to many thousands of young students from east Belfast and further afield.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"When I was a young boy back in Orangefield, I used to look out my classroom window and dream.\" - Van Morrison\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis very special live album on double heavyweight black vinyl \u0026amp; CD is a celebration of his formative years, giving us a vivid access to the past. But much more than that. The energy and drive, the poetic reinvention Morrison brings to his recollections stand out against the ravages of time. His is a voice of exhilaration and dance as well as poignancy and romance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59522767355985,"sku":"EXILE0002LP","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/0190\/4465\/files\/55ad0d07-60e5-4583-bb53-9a58caaa78c6.jpg?v=1778918706","url":"https:\/\/classicalbums.shop\/products\/van-morrison-live-at-orangefield-vinyl-lp-due-out-02-08-24","provider":"Classic albums ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
