Live at Breeze's Metro Club

Live at Breeze's Metro Club is a live album recorded and released in 1986 by the Washington, D.C.-based go-go band Rare Essence. The album was recorded at the now defunct Breeze's Metro Club, a music venue formerly located on Bladensburg Road in the Gateway neighborhood of Northeast, Washington, D.C. The album is also referred to as The Album That Kept the Whole Neighborhood Rockin'.

The album includes the local hits in the D.C. music scene "Roll Call", "Shake It (But Don't Break It)", "One On One", and the nationwide hit "Do the Mickey", which is a remake of The Miracles 1963 song "Mickey's Monkey". The song "Do the Mickey" is a homage to Rare Essence's conga player Milton "Go-Go Mickey" Freeman.
