A reference from the popular space game, Endless Sky, "Sad Archie" is a reference for when a band intentionally finishes a big concert with one of their slower songs, with the intent being to calm down a chaotic crowd. This can help prevent overly-excited fans from releasing their energy in potentially destructive ways. A Sad Archie typically utilizes a slow mellow song written to inspire a melancholy feeling, either by its prose or by its melody. Often both.
In the game Endless Sky, Sad Archie is a song played by the aptly named band "There Might Be Riots" at the end of each concert to prevent damage to public property.

"I went to the AC/DC concert last night and they totally pulled a Sad Archie. Their last song was Ride On and by the end I was in tears."
