Jim Riddle - Takes on the role of John Lennon during "Rain Beattles Experience" at The Cave, on Hornby street in Vancouver BC - May 18, 1981.

Rain is the opening act for the band called Three Dog Night, and was the final show at the Cave Nightclub before it was demolished two weeks after the performance.

Jim Riddle (Rhythm Guitar, Harmonica, Piano, Vocals) portrays John Lennon. Another Beatlemania veteran, Jim has also been with RAIN since 1983. Jim's stage presence comes across every bit as magnetic as John's. Jim's portrayal of John on stage is delivered with a great deal of respect and integrity. Jim's delivery of John's vocals leaves even the most ardent fan amazed. Review after review acclaims Jim Riddle's performances as incredible, genuine and authentic. Jim Riddle, the Lennon portrayer succumbed tragically to a brain tumor in 1997.

The Cave nightclub: During the 1920s, when Vancouver prospered as a "free port" supplying illicit whiskey to the US Pacific Northwest (either Canadian-made or shipped in by sea from Mexico), the city's night life boomed and several swank dinner clubs opened, despite restrictive liquor and entertainment laws. The best-known of Vancouver's dinner clubs, The Cave, was on Hornby Street a block north of the (third and current) Hotel Vancouver, which has its own show room on one of its uppermost floors, the Panorama Roof (the Panorama Roof on the second hotel was a trellised terrace with a dance floor; the new one is a ballroom with view windows). Another important dinner club was Isy's, near Bute and Georgia, although Hornby Street was the hub of the fancier end of city night life for many decades, from the 1920s to the early 1970s. Certain celebrities are associated with Vancouver's nightclub history — Mitzi Gaynor and Robert Goulet appearing regularly at the Cave among many great names who played the stalactite-decorated dinner club.

It seemed that the era’s stringent liquor and entertainment laws did little to quell Vancouver’s booming nightlife. Several high-end dinner clubs opened, the most notable being The Cave. For years, this Hornby Street haunt with its stalactite decor was a mecca for high society. Only in later years were black musicians allowed to play in the house bands of such clubs. But as racial tolerance evolved, so did the music. Before long, the city was becoming home to a solid and influential community of blues, funk and soul merchants. Many greats have hung their hats here, including Long John Baldry, Koko Taylor, Randy Bachman and Lovena Fox.
