Gene fans were ecstatic after the show, declaring it an enormous success and worth the three-year wait since their last live US appearances. One wrote: “I was simply amazed at the performance.” Another added: “Seeing Morrissey there just capped off a fantastic evening.”

Speaking in the States prior to the gig, Gene frontman Martin Rossiter said that “embracing technology” was one of the joys of being independent. The band have had to change the name of their newly-established own label to Contra from Sub Rosa after discovering there was already a label using that name.
