This is a bit off-topic but I had the pleasure of seeing a pretty early gig by the Foos. Believe it or not, it was at a low-key street festival in the small (by US/UK standards - ca. 50,000 pop) Swiss town of Wintherthur. Even more unbelievable was the bill: Beck, Foo Fighters and Radiohead for about £20 a ticket. This was in 1996 and it was my first ever "date" with my wife (sorry to be a bore - yawn, yawn). The night before I had seen Massive Attack at the same festival.
Probably the only other gig of a similar nature (i.e. big loud group, small quite town) that I have been to was Rage Against The Machine in the tiny Swiss town of Bulach. That was very surreal indeed and something I won't forget in a hurry.
Don't know if anyone cares but I got my dates wrong. The Foo Fighters gig was actually in the autumn 1995 (how could I forget my glorious first date with my future wife). While Googling I found the original flyer for that year. I see that they also had Green Day and Soundgarden that year. 1990 was also a strong year as you can see from the second flyer (Tanita Tikaram excepted perhaps!). I wasn't even in Switzerland at that time so no surprise that I didn't go. Unfortunately, the festival kept losing money so they now have mainly locals or no names.
