On the main riff, if you watch videos of people's hands that E you're playing on the 2nd fret of the D string is normally played on the A at the 7th fret. There's definitely a sound difference on that as well as ease of playing. I think Billy Gibbons plays it in an open tuning, but Joe Bonamassa and others that play it in standard with no slide are all playing that E on the 7th on the A string.

Fun song -- Playing by ear, I'd say not necessary going down to 2nd fret on D string. Agree, A on 7th fret sounds stellar.

it's easier to play in drop D but then dif key. or open E tuning. then you can do all the coo slide stuff.
