I've seen plenty of shows where a group was unknown and went on to be legendary.
As for shows that received notoriety and later mention in the press for the event themselves - the only one that comes to mind for me is Nirvana at the University of WA Hub Ballroom when they got banned for smashing their equipment. When they became the most popular band in the world, that got mentioned a lot in the press. It was a good set, not the best I'd seen them play, but still pretty damn good.
