I'm also a rather tall person of equal height last time I checked, and my first handfull of concerts I always felt bad when short people behind me asked me to move. Then one day I realized that it's Darwin playing out. Survival of the Fittest. Tall people survive the shows. Buahaha
I'm 5'3", The Spouse is 6'5" so we each have our issues at shows. We just go with the flow and find a happy spot between shoulders to see.
What I hate more than tall people enjoying the show are the shrimps (and yes I guess I am one) who hop up and down, up and down, up and down whining that they can't seeeeeeee. I tap those little ones and say "you can see better if your view of the stage isn't shaking."
I have also been known to take a swig from my beer bottle just as the jumping bean is hopping up (this is usually after being called a name for asking her politely to stop hopping) and it accidentally hits her on the head. Then she usually moves.
But in general, it's all about having a good time, enjoying the music and knowing fate got you in that certain spot in the crowd so use it to your advantage. Dance and bond with neighbors1
I don't mind tall people as long as they were there first. If a tall guy walks in front of me and just stays put, I'll usually say something. I'm 5'9" which only allows me to see so much. When a 6'6" asshole stays put in front of me, thats when I get angry!
haha I hear that all the time being 6'5'' I either trade places with them, or look further up for a spot.. I understand we all paid ( or worked ) to be here. Being kind to someone can also have its benefits. I mean nice people share .. right?

I was at a George Clinton show years ago in Central Park and me (6 2) and my bro (6 4) were trying to get closer to the music and these two girls ended up behind us and looked at us real pissed like and then Bootsy through down this base line and all four of us were dancing uncontrollably.
It sux sometimes but if the music is good the crowd will adjust...
Tall people don't really bother me. . . It's moreso the assholes who put their girlfriends on their shoulders, as if their girlfriends are the only ones who can't see.
I'm 4'11" and I never complain about tall people in front of me, I can normally move from time to time and find the "window", however being at this height, I'm right at armpit and elbow height and people typically don't look down for midgets while moshing. I just make sure that I'm especially aware of my surroundings and those around me who aren't aware of much of anything.
Tall people, no problem....but tall Tool fans now those folks are just out to ruin everyone's fun by virtue of their stature alone, creating hooliganism and general mayhem.
just kidding, hope ya know. In just nine days many of the uninitiated will learn what a transcendent experience a Tool show can be...the lucky ones anyhow.....even the tall ones.
I'm 5'7" and I ALWAYS get stuck behind a group of tall guys. I've never asked anyone to move, I always do the moving. BUT then I usually get dirty looks or even shoved cuz people think I'm trying to make my way up front. I can't win!
Being a tall dude myself, I've found that standing NEXT to the 5'0" girls is a very easy way to meet some ladies. Because they say "You're tall, can you take a picture for me?" Then we go back to my tent and make big American sex.
HEADED TO BONNAROO!!!!
let me in front of you 
now those folks are just out to ruin everyone's fun by virtue of their stature alone, creating hooliganism and general mayhem.
