Summary
Charlie Puth's sold-out Madison Square Garden concert on his 'Whatever's Clever!' World Tour featured an eclectic mix of surprise guest stars including Art Garfunkel, Busta Rhymes, Jimmy Fallon, and Kirk Franklin. The show stood out for its focus on musicianship—jazz chords, funk bass, extended solos—rather than typical pop spectacle, with no choreography or stage gimmicks.
