Cruising along! Rolling Stones members Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood look relaxed as they spend the day with family on HUGE luxury yacht on Sydney Harbour

By Neil Griffiths for Daily Mail Australia

Some members of the Rolling Stones seem to have enjoyed their last day in Sydney in style.

Currently on tour around Australia, guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood soaked up some sunshine on Friday as they spent the afternoon cruising around Sydney Harbour on a luxury yacht.

Richards, 70, was accompanied by his wife, Patti Hansen, while Wood, 67, was joined on the boat by his wife, Sally and his son.




The band members looked to be having a relaxing day off and enjoying the hot weather, as the mercury reached up to 37 degrees.


Absent from the boat trip were fellow Stones players, front man Mick Jagger and drummer, Charlie Watts.



Richards dressed appropriately for the hot weather, sporting a yellow singlet over cream shorts.

Shame you never seem to see Mick & Keith enjoying each other's company outside of official Stones functions.

I heard Keith tried out for The Fly but was beat out by Jeff Goldblum.

Nice boat.

Wonder howe much that lil' family jaunt ran!

They look like they are having a blast!

Godammit

You should be so sad.

If I didn't make it perfectly clear before, I would gladly marry either of the Keith/Patti kids, or Patti herself.

When Bruce played there earlier in the year he opened the first night with "Drinkin Wine Spo-de-O-dee" and the second night with The Animals' "Spill The Wine"

It'd be nice if they did something off the wall like that. 'Pass the wine' or even 'Blood red wine' would be great, if unlikely!

They were doing Out of Control (and doing it brilliantly) and Doom & Gloom regularly until this week.

If they're resting them until Mick's voice strengthens, fair enough, but if not then the pattern on recent tours of 'newer' songs being phased out of the show in favour of more golden oldies is being repeated.

The real reason they almost never do a rare song is because they can't be tossed to work it up into something exciting. This maybe related to Mick and Keith not really liking each other any more. But it's also that they are pretty lazy. It's true that the large majority want to hear the hits and the rarer songs are not as well received, but it's also true that they make no effort at new and exciting arrangements. The last time they did that was Not Fade Away on Voodoo Lounge. Once in 20 years is shameful.

To be fair, The Wick did specify "new and exciting arrangements" in his comment. Can't say any of those songs were anything but very standard, conservative performances, excepting "I Wanna Be Your Man" for it's extreme rarity factor and very exciting deliveries.

Something like what they did with "Out of Control" in '97 is perhaps what he's referring to; not much adventure or imagination involved in their arrangements since then I reckon... 

It's not so much about rearranging the furniture as regularly polishing it (with Brasso and wood-oils), tightening the joins, reweaving or restuffing the pillowy bits, and dancing at variegated speeds around Charlie's lovely steady stool.

Always nice to Keith wearing a leather jacket!!!!

Alll very well stated points. In my typical arrogance I failed to read the original the "new and exciting"...my apologies there Wickie ole boy...
that simple oversight just knocked my statements out of the water...and as far as Charlie's stool...that is between he and his GI specialist

great KEEF pics LJ! He does look very happy to be there...

I like the three Keef-songs thing. Great pictures, nice set. I wish I could've been there.
