I have a very lively and colourful show. It’s two hours of hits and the music speaks for itself.

Rod Stewart frames his live performance as a high-energy, visually engaging “show” built around familiar songs (“two hours of hits”). The emphasis on the set being largely composed of well-known material signals a concert designed for broad audience pleasure and nostalgia rather than deep cuts or experimentation. By adding that “the music speaks for itself,” he suggests that the songs’ emotional impact and craftsmanship require little explanation or theatrical justification: the performance’s authority rests on the enduring appeal of the repertoire. The quote also reflects a veteran performer’s confidence—after decades of chart success, the catalogue itself becomes the central argument for the concert’s value.
