By all acounts the tour seems to be going well, with a good mix of old and new songs and Julian up to his usual crazy antics during Reynard the Fox. Here's how part of the event was reported to Trampolene:

"Reynard was bizarre, bordering on loony! Julian had these bondage trousers on which he fastened together between his knees, then instead of singing the bit about '...he reached down and took the bag...', he started on about '..all he had was a German army helmet to piss in as he climbed up a hill and when he got to the top of the hill he shouted out "fuck you Jehovah, fuck you Allah and fuck you God who calls himself God" '.

Then Julian climed right up to the top of his big mike stand rocking backwards and forwards quite violently repeating the f-yous as above. The mike stand toppled over taking Julian with it, he got back up and took it apart and ripping his shirt open began doing the cutting with the bit of mic stand he had in his hand.
I am not sure if he actually cut himself, I couldn't really see from where I was, due to Holy McGrail and Thighpaulsandra blocking my view on stage.

The start of the first set was incredible too. Julian just walked on and the band ripped into "Hanging Out.." and JC just immediately lept into the audience and the majority of the song was sung with JC out in the audience!

There was hardly any banter all evening, a very tight and professional outing by Julian. Highlights for me: Bandys First Jump, Bouncing Babies, Hanging Out and Feels like a crying shame."

Some pictures from Friday's Royal Festival Hall gig have already been kindly posted for all of us to see at the following link:
