I went to see Charlie Puth at Radiocity Music Hall on July 16, 2018. Here, I am going to share my experience so anyone planning on seeing him on tour, or anyone who cannot attend can learn about it!
Charlie really did an amazing job. Like seriously, I am sitting here so sad that its over. He started by introducing the band before making his grand entrance (you can find this hilarious video on my instagram as well #selfpromo). The curtain that was going to fall got stuck so our first sound of Charlie was him giggling, which was absolutely amazing and honestly the cutest thing ever.
He started the show off with "The Way I Am" which was amazing. My throat still hurts from screaming so much.

He stuck to the set list and gave some input on how he wrote songs and also gave a shout out to anyone from New Jersey before listing his favorite radio stations from when he was younger. He looked so happy and confident while preforming and did an amazing job hitting long high notes in almost every song and even including piano solos that lasted a good few minutes (he is literally the piano king).
He did a slow, short version of "Marvin Gaye" which I'll honestly take because we all know that it's his least favorite song but he did it anyway for us! :,)
"How Long" was a m a z i n g it was the song I was most excited to hear and he couldn't have done it any better. He included a piano solo on his keyboard that was strung over his shoulder and it was so good.
During "LA Girls" Charlie said before preforming, "how did I get stuck messing with these LA girls when there are certainly much more beautiful New York girls." and that quote pretty much killed me. It was also pretty cool when he sang "I miss the days we'd take a Greyhound to NYC" because the crowd went crazy.
Now, I may just be being a crazy fan, but I am 90% sure that Charlie noticed me during "Change". (If you were sitting near me, you already know because I was screaming about it). Basically, Charlie started giving background information on how he came up with the song and I knew it was coming so I whipped out my flashlight. Charlie looked up to my area and said "Oh I already see some lights up there" so I starts waving it around and jumping up and down like an idiot and he smiled and nodded as he laughed a "yup!". So honestly, he could have been looking at someone else but I am going to believe he was looking at me haha! He really blew us away with his performance of "Change" though.
The crowd went insane for "We Don't Talk Anymore" and we sang every lyric with him.
He looked so happy whenever he would let us sing, he would throw his head back and smirk, it was adorable. :,)
By "Done For Me" Charlie had taken his shirt of and b o y was that a treat! He even made a very smexy sound before singing which I will also post on instagram.
Watching Charles sing "Suffer" shirtless was pretty much the hottest thing ever so, I'll just leave it at that.
"One Call Away" was another one that the crowd went crazy for as well as "Attention" which was flawless.
Charlie told us that "Boy" was probably the weirdest song that he ever wrote before preforming which was really funny and he did amazing on that one too. He told us "Boy" was the last song and said goodnight to us before leaving.
Us crazy fans were not going to leave without hearing "See You Again" so we chanted encore and Charlie came back out. Some people had left so they tragically didn't get to see his mind blowing finale of "See You Again". (The encore was definitely planned, but it was great haha! We love you Charles!)
He finished the show with a bow and ended the show as cute as he started it by running to his guitarist and jumping off stage while yelling something in his ear. It was so cute and he looked so happy.
Let's just say that the train ride hope was the most depressing of my life because I was (and am) so sad that it's over but I will definitely be seeing Charlie again (oh and Charlie's performance also included lots of puns just like this work haha!).
If you can see Charlie, let me tell you, it is so worth it. It was the best night of my life and I hope you all get to experience it.
Please leave any questions in the comments and I will be answering them! I hope you enjoyed this!
