"We Can Talk" is a 1968 song by The Band that was the opener for the second side of their debut album Music From Big Pink Written by Richard Manuel, it features The Band's three main vocalists (Manuel, Levon Helm and Rick Danko) in nearly equal turns, often finishing each other's phrases. Initially a staple of their concerts (including Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival 1969), it was dropped from the set list in 1971.
