It was promoted as an all-ages concert.
It's not as if the young girl did something to insult or piss him off. His reaction was totally inappropriate and un-called for.

People have died trying to get down in front at Who shows. No matter how it was promoted it still is insanely irresponsible to bring a child that age that close. Even with the reduced volume due to Pete's tinnitus that is still too loud for a kid that age. And even though, yes, age may have mellowed them in some ways, they are still cantankerous English bastards at heart, especially Pete... although Roger probably would have hugged the kid and made sure she was alright before brawling with Pete about it backstage.
