I would imagine the vast majority of recorded music is edited together, even "live" albums tend to get a bit of the same treatment. You do come across the occasional "live in the studio" recording, and I usually like these.
Untouched live recordings must be fairly few & far between, but bands like Grateful Dead have released large quantities of these.
I agree that an untouched recording has an extra feel of authenticity to it, but I don't know how easily I could identify one from a well produced edited recording.
