For those Not Familiar with his work :- "Here comes Joe the Jammer," is what Robert Plant and Jimmy Page used to say when they saw Page's guitar tech Joe Wright coming their way. Wright got his start playing rock 'n' roll at the legendary Windy City concert haunt The Kinetic Playground on Clark Street near Lawrence. Wright organized the venue's Tuesday night jam sessions and owner Aaron Russo would let him in to see the concerts for free.

That's how he met Led Zeppelin backstage, before they played their first Chicago concert on Feb. 7, 1969, when they were booked as the opening act for Vanilla Fudge. "No one had really heard of Led Zeppelin yet, but it featured Jimmy Page from the Yardbirds, and I was a big fan of the Yardbirds," Wright said. Wright eventually signed on with the rising British rock group as a roadie and later became Page's guitar tech.

As his friendship with Page grew, Wright would often jam with him in his dressing room before a gig. Sometimes he was invited on stage, introduced by his new moniker "Joe Jammer." Eventually, he went to England by Zep's manager, Peter Grant, who hooked the young American axe man up with renown British producer Mickey Most.

After forming The Joe Jammer Band, which included Hendrix's rhythm section of Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding songs were recorded and he opened for Zeppelin, including the prestigious Festival Of Bath in June 1970.
