I am just catching up but did not see anyone mention that this was posted by Manny Patel.
As posted above -- Adam was at TigerHeat at Avalon Hollywood.
>> I assume they played GT? Does anyone know? I gather that is why Adam is on the stage.
The DJ last night was Ray Rhodes. But Manny Patel is one of the most influential private event DJs in LA -- he would claim the world. He is British living and working in LA now.
Manny Patel, Jnr.

Hello! I'm Manny from London UK and a DJ living in Los Angeles. I'm out going, very social and love to have fun. Sometimes considered a little extreme.

However, the Avalon was part of my old life when I live in SoCal.

Mentioning the Avalon, I recently stumbled upon a Zodiac Show review I did not recall reading before.
The Zodiac Show
René S. Garcia, Jr.
September 10, 2008
It’s a sleepy Tuesday night in Los Angeles and the crowd at the historic Avalon Hollywood is getting impatient. They’re here to see The Zodiac Show – dubbed a modern day Moulin Rouge – with live music, dancing and singing. Rehearsal footage projected and looped on giant screens overhead promise even more. The booze is flowing liberally, the crowd is dressed in their hipster best and the show couldn’t start any sooner. Unfortunately, things are running an hour behind and the static Zodiac Show logo on the curtains is getting old fast. This had better be worth the wait.
.....
“We’ve waited this long,” a man says, doing his best to convince his friends to stay. Across the way, a woman yawns. It’s half an hour to midnight and the following workday is looming large on more and more minds. Then a booming voice calls for places, the lights lower and the curtains part, revealing the Virgo Intro to this variety show.
Dancers in silhouette behind a scrim give way to a commanding figure outlined in blinding light: MzA Superstar. Think Michael Clarke Duncan in drag, sporting a bearskin marching band hat and low-slung hip-huggers. As he begins the first stanza of Led Zeppelin’s Black Dog, it’s obvious that he’s the unofficial ring leader to this rock & roll circus. At the end of the first performance, he asks, “You bitches are gagging, aren’t you? Get ready to gag some more.” To his credit, the first act set the tone perfectly with high energy that electrified the crowd, but the rest of the show wasn’t consistently “gag-worthy.”
The second performance stood out in particular, but mainly because of its placement. Alisan Porter – diminutive in stature, but large in vocals – belted out a self-written love ballad that took the show in a subdued direction that would have been more effective later on. Fortunately, the next piece by Adam Lambert was literally incendiary and had the crowd pumped up again, even if his performance was a little overcooked, brandishing a flaming staff.
