You can play the song quite adequately in standard, but you won't get
the same bass feel. Also, Richard frequently plays octave bass runs like:
MI
SI
G___0___2-sl-3-sl-2_____________
RE
G___0___2-sl-3-sl-2_____________
DO
These are _much_ easier when you have the octave G strings as open, since
you can damp out the B string more easily. (Actually, I was led to using this
tuning because I heard these, tried to play them in standard, and was
disappointed. :)
