That’s correct - the rarer songs on last night’s set list were not played after all. Rizzo was confirmed not played after Adam Carson responded to AFINewsHQ and let them know that while it was on the set list, AFI called an “audible” and decided to skip it.

If AFI would have indeed played the “Answer That and Stay Fashionable” hit, “Rizzo in the Box”, it would have been 17 years since they last performed that song. Regarding the “Black Sails in the Sunset” last track, “God Called in Sick Today”, it would have been the first time performing it since February this year.
It’s very interesting to think about what kind of crowd reaction (difference) the band would have gotten if they did indeed play these two songs. Regardless, it was still a great set list!
