As usual, Buffett went on tour in the summer of 1995, although instead of basing it on the album, he called it the "Domino College Tour", after a song released on the box set three years prior; the song was co-written by Buffett and Dan Fogelberg.[2] Songs from Barometer Soup still appeared regularly in the tour, including "Don't Chu-Know", "Diamond as Big as the Ritz" and "Mexico." Played less frequently on the tour were "Jimmy Dreams", the title track, "Bank Of Bad Habits" and "The Night I Painted the Sky."[3]
